Tricomi tricomi tricomi ovunque!!!!

Little bit of work this week but mostly an easy week watching the ladies grow and adjust to their new homes. On day 22 from Seed repotted the girls to their 2 gallon homes. I like to go from cups to 2 gal for veg then up to 5 gal for flower. Roots looked good and healthy already filling the cups well. Probably why they were needing water almost daily before transplant! Did the usual amendments (all purpose, basalt Rock, dia earth, and dynomyco) and living 50/50 new soil and reused soil from last grow. They all seemed to take it well, sad for a few days but I think I gave a bit too much water when transplanted. Now they're perking back up nicely. Late week did a Diatomaceous Earth treatment on top to keep bugs away. Will get the food out of tent this week and will be no more worries after that. Hope everyone has a happy 4/20 and a good grow week!

WELL WELL WELL, FRIENDS! NO PROBLEM WITH THE GERMINATION OF THIS BABY .... I CAN'T WAIT TO OBSERVE HER RED GEMS !!! ---------------------- ------------------- For those interested in buying this fantastic light https://amzn.to/3ttb2j9

12 Nov 11 weeks and 3 days. Flowers are coming along well, nice and hairy.

The leaves have started shifting to a lighter shade of green, while some are showing beautiful pinkish-purple hues. The buds are still on the lean side, but I’m hoping for a bit more bulk and density over the next few days. 😀🤞 The flowering progresses smoothly and peacefully. Apollo’s fragrance now unfolds in all its elegance — a truly delightful scent that fills the air, while my mind tries to unravel the delicate pleasures that make up this exquisite creation. The scent of Apollo F1 is a triumph of fruity sweetness, dominated by notes reminiscent of gummy bears and red fruit syrup, balanced by a subtle floral and creamy undertone. The aroma is dense, sugary, and enveloping — a symphony of fruity esters and terpenes that evoke the irresistible allure of an artisanal candy shop. Let’s surf in this little sea of green !🏄‍♂️

Left to right: All Gas x Cali Octane (Promo), Banana Butter Cups, Gelato, OG Triploid. Pictures taken day 48 of flower, just started into week 8. I messed up last week and uploaded pictures that were still from week 6, but I'll just leave it as is. I found one small bud with botrytis, seems to have been the only one, so not too worried there. The far red is really showing its effects now, all of these normally take 63-68 days to finish, as it is I think I can chop around day 58. Combined with the super short veg, I could do 5 runs like this a year. BBC is fading nicely, was growing strong. The others didn't use up the nutrients, even though its been straight water only with microorganisms and some kelp added every two weeks. I didn't do any pH correction and the tap water here comes out at pH of 8 and 0.8 EC, I cut it to 0.4 EC. Impressive! I am not getting sponsored by biotabs, but I am amazed what just the tab itself without any of the product line is achieving. I am sure, you can push the plant more, but I love the keep it simple approach. Next round I am going to add a Blumat self-watering system and just check in on the plants once a week. Edit: Harvested at day 56, the far-red took off a solid week - as expected. Smell was intense, they had 36 hrs of darkness before harvest, will hang until I get back Saturday evening and then go into the winecooler I modified. Currently at 19 C and 50% humidity, bit too dry, but it's only for two and a half days, so I'm not worried. The biotabs didn't fully dissolve in the 9 weeks they were in the pot, next round I will break them up a little. Only the BBC really faded, I hope the taste won't be too much on the nitrogen side 😬 harvest update will follow as soon as they are dry, so probably in another two weeks from now

The pistils on all plants are getting more and more brown, its time to check the trichomes now. I check with a handheld microscope and they are getting milky, but not yet amber, which means they are ALMOST READY TO HARVEST, but not yet. The amount of crystals produced under the Q6W-Gen.2 LED-lamps from SANlight is astounding, the plants are coated in trichomes! This week I stopped giving any nutrients in order to FLUSH the plants, this is VERY IMPORTANT in order to get a smooth smoke of the dried end-product. The aroma of the plants is VERY STRONG NOW, they smell mouth-watering. The Shiva Skunk has a sweet, musky smell with a fresh citrus note to it, its a delight to smell those plants. The Serious Kush smells EXTREMELY fuely and gassy, like the OG-Kush, but with an amount of buds like the White Russian, its FLABBERGASTING. I cant wait to try those two strains...😎

Hi buddies im back to the diary Everything is going well, the girls drink a lot 3 to 5 liters of feed per day, the Ph and EC remain stable. I see new roots and buds continue to bloom💣 so I think they are fine and healthy. Sensi Seeds indicates Skunk#1 with 8 weeks flowering now i am at the beginning of week 7 bloom but I still don't see milky or amber trichomes and not even so many brown pistils, so i will repeat the week 5 feed as AN advice... maybe from the next one I'll start with overdrive .. who knows? 😁 I made some macro videos of the trichomes, in the next few days I will update the diary with photos. Thanks for the answers and advices to the grow questions, I know you don't do it for the free seeds, its only love 💚😜 love you too buddies as usual thanks for stopping by and good growth everyone !! Update: I need a tripod to take better macro shoots. Sorry for low quality pics

Week 2 of flower is in the books and all 3 girls are looking extremely healthy. Perfect time to start packing on the weight. There are tons if bud sites that will get tons of light due to all the defoliation I've done. I've never defiliated plants this much before and I'm curious to see the difference in bud production below the canopy level. I love trying new things and experimenting with these plants. Always coming up with new ideas on how to do things and making things easier along the way. Can't wait to see how much I'll get off all 3 and see the difference in phenotypes.

I let her heal under LED after the last major defoliation and moved her to the flowering tent after the first sign of new growth. She wasn't very happy under the intense light ( I don't ever work my plants up to it, i prob should lol) but she's starting to come around :)

5. Woche

4. Woche Alle Ladys wurden 3x getoppt, jetzt mache ich eigentlich nicht mehr viel, nur noch bisschen in Form bringen und dann dürfen die Ladys wachsen, wie sie wollen 😁

Photo/Video taken exactly a week from germination making solid length and progress for a week.

UPDATE AFTER A LONG TIME, i'll post more often. I only recovered a few videos from last couple years to share. Mango is dense, but doesn't give out much trichome as I expected. So, I took a risk and poke a hole in the stem to gave a lot of stress to the plant, so the plant gave out a lot of trichomes and the bud becomes a bit bigger.

There’s no amber trichomes on Mama Mia and I’m thinking of growing a little longer than the breeder suggests. Northern Lights trichomes are starting to amber and I may harvest earlier than suggested. King Kong trichomes are milky clear. I switched up which light is on which plant. Next grow I’m definitely replacing my two weaker lights with stronger lights and using the weak lights as side lighting. Light power is one of the big lessons from this grow. The bud size looks it’s age, but is much heavier than appearance. I think the kelp helped the buds get denser. The King Kong flowers are all much heavier than the branches can support. Next grow I’ll be more proactive with netting support.

😇 😇 😇 Hi to all growers 😁 😁 😁 So let's start !! The first day of the girls' first week of life is a fact 💪 💪 💪 Some technical details: - Light cycle 20.5h on 3.5h off - Mars TSW first week set to 50% power - Ventilation RAM 4" 165m3 / h - Air humidifier from China ( doing job!! ) - 3x AutoPot + 3x AirDome See you soon, You Lovely Girls Growers 😇 😉 🙌

————-DAY 22 of flower—————- Alright stretch is all wrapped at this point. Did a little bit of defol just cuz things were getting cramped on the interior of the plants. Having to really watch run off on these girls. Couple signs of mildew 🤦‍♂️ Ugh - been months since I’ve had a lick of mildew and it starts up now. Lots of reasons probably - weather and shit outside. Just turned furnace on for the first time it’s kicking up all types of shit from inside the ducts. Upped ArmorSi cuz silica is supposed to help with WPM. Pheno 1 & 4 are largest two. Pheno 1 has more lateral branching into even canopy. 2 is middle child as far as size. 3 caught up actually after some late stretching. All are about the same nutrient wise except for 1 - she’s the odd one out as far as morphology in some respects. Also as I started saying is showing different needs as far as nutrients. Showing some calcium deficiency in the last week. Overall so impressed with these genetics and results thus far. ——————- Day 26 ——————- Stacking and putting weight on. PK boosted 3 first to show some purps in buds. Littttle tiny bit in 1 as well. Frosty as hell WPM seems at bay

The Jedi came down at 11 weeks. The other blackberry came down at 8.5 weeks, for a total production of 2.5zips plus 7.5 zips. I've had to estimate the Jedi at the moment, there was 1050 gm wet weight of trimmed bud on minimal stem. I would expect the dry weight to be 21% of that but I will update the numbers next week. She is a spacious plant and very branchy but you can continually trim branches as you defoliate throughout the grow, she responds well to both. Floats like a butterfly and hits like a steam train. It's been over two weeks since the Blackberry was harvested and she's all gone now, never even got a chance to dry properly. Basically she kept me going while waiting for this Jedi, who I already knew was going to be soaking with resin. I was hoping for 8 zips total with 4 for each plant but I ended up only getting 2.5 on the blackberry but I got an easy 7.5 of mostly grade a bud so a total of 10 zip for both plants in the same pot. They were expected to mature together but the black berry was a week or so early, so as you can see in the root shots her roots had died and made the Jedi roots rot as well but this shows you the resiiance of the Shallow Water Culture as I do it because of added redundancy, I could not even tell there was a root problem didn't after the Jedi at all but it's good to be away of, I'm back to single pots for a while now.
