D50 : The first day of flowering

Updating

Week 15 brings fading leaves and denser buds..when I squeeze them they feel rock hard! I think in 1-2 weeks she will be getting chopped. I will continue to flush for that fuller fade...hoping to bring out some colors during this and maximize terpenes and trichomes. Looks like I'll have to pay close attention to those yellow leaves when trimming...I did trim up one bud and it took a bit of time for me to get everything clean off. I'm so excited to harvest her it's been a loooooong journey for an autoflower!

I have been feeding nothing but water the past few days. The Trichomes are cloudy at the moment except for a couple of the buds that’s lower. buds are definitely getting fatter and covered in trichomes. I’m thinking maybe another week before harvest. I need to figure out a way to cool my temp down to before the drying process. I’m in a apartment so it’s kind of difficult. The lowest it’s gotten was 70. I’m not sure if that would be enough for a slower dry. Let me know what you think.

Week 2 7/26- All the girl's are doing great. I had to use some horticulture wire to prop up a couple of the girls that got a little 'top heavy'. Giving 12oz water ph'd to 6.3-6.5 as needed 2 hours after 'lights on' around each plant, and every other day in the saucers (1/4g/ea) to allow the medium to wick it up and stay moist. Temp's running 72-81deg with an average RH of 55-60%. I'd like to have the RH a bit higher but the girl's seem to be doing fine at the present. 😎Ordered another HLG 650R with the supplemental UV Bar to replace the two SunSystems 315 CMH's....should be a game changer! 💪 Also have an AC Infinity 6" exhaust system w/controller on the way to replace the Hurricane 400cfm fan I'm currently running along with another TerraBloom 6'x24" carbon filter as my current filter is losing efficiency. 7/27- Watered today ph'd to 6.4 with 2 tbsp/gallon unsulfured molasses added. I split 2 1/2g between the eight girls by pouring 12oz around each plant and then dividing the rest in their saucers to be wicked up. Temp's, RH and CO2 all on point! 7/28- Light watering today with straight non-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.5. Growth is looking great across the board. Even the late starters, Seedsman Zkittles #1 & #2, are coming along nicely! All the ladies are averaging in height between 2 1/2' - 3 1/2" and should be getting ready to explode as their root systems become more established and are able to start taking in more nutrients. Fans are running 24/7 to strengthen the stalks....they're gonna need it to support the buds these ladies will be sporting in a couple months! 7-29- Watered all through the bottom today with straight .5g non-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.3. Temp's, RH, CO2 and VPD all on point. Unhooked carbon filter from hose as it's losing efficiency restricting exhaust air flow. Girl's all growing STRONG especially the #1 Seedsman Gelato OG in Fox Farm/Nature's Living Soil mix and the FastBuds Purple Lemonade #2 also in the Fox Farms/Nature's Living Soil mix with the Seedsman Gelato OG #2 in SOHUM soil is getting close. I appears the two girl's in SOHUM soil are not quite as tall as the others but are leafing out well and are stocky with close node spacing.....hmmm? 7/30- Lift checked all the pots and gave 2 1/2g straight non-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.4 with 2 tbsp of unsulfured molasses added. I split the 2 1/2g evenly between all eight giving 20oz through the top and the remainder in the pans to be wicked up. I turned up the HLG 650R to 400w at the wall and kept the height the same. My AC Infinity Cloudline T6 exhaust and new Terrabloom 6x24" carbon filter came today, as did the UV bar from HLG for the HLG 650R that'll be here on the 3rd.....CAN'T WAIT!!! All the girl's are really doing well and starting to begin 'gettin it on'! All are healthy and running between 3-4" tall. Side note: While installing the new exhaust fan setup on of my pooches sneaked in the room and munched off a half of a shade leaf on the #1 Purple Lemonade....she's definitely got good taste!😆 In the process of installing the AC Infinity fan I relocated it and the filter to the left side of the tent and re-routed the cold air intake hoses so that both enter the tent at the bottom and are positioned at either side of the tent. I setup the AC Infinity which is a breeze, set all my high/low limits and alarms and let here run! Temperatures now are running 72-81 deg. and RH is remaining stable @ 55%, CO2@800ppm. All in all a good day!😎👍 7/31- Water looks good on all the girls. I'll just top water lightly today with straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.5. The AC Infinity is really a 'game changer' as temp's are now staying in a stable range without having to adjust the settings on my Ideal Air 14k BTU AC unit...niceee! All my ladies are finishing up their second week like champs and I'm looking forward to the next few weeks as when their root systems reach the 'super-soil' they are going to hopefully have some explosive growth. I'll also be evaluating all of them in the coming week to determine candidates for topping and LST to begin. 8/1- The second HLG 650R came today! I tidied up the tent before installing the 650R: moved EXHALE CO2 bags-one on each side, vacuumed, took care of any loose hanger cords and re-positioned the three thermometers/hygrometers. I installed the second HLG 650R w/UV bar in the tent and set both lights to 400w @ the wall and have both boards centered, level and hung @ 36" from the soil. These lights are AWESOME! I checked temp's on the boards & drivers after they were running for 4 hours: 98deg on the drivers and 94deg on the board...pretty freakin sweeet! Gave the girl's a day off from water as they all looked GTG and are all getting ready to really turn on! I plan on hitting them early tomorrow morning with a good watering. Temp's-RH-VPD all on point for this week. I've been continuing to run the humidifier set @ 60% RH and I'm going so far as to ph the water going into it to see if it makes a difference as my well water runs 7.8ph @225ppm dissolved solids and I hypothesized that as the plants were absorbing the moisture from the air it might be beneficial to have that moisture at the correct ph.....we'll see I guess!

Day 22 Yo I'm expecting big growth next week, tucked some huge fan leaves under the new nodes, as advised from a question. Temperature sweet 25.5°C all day. Need more humidity though cause it drops at 30%. Day 23 Started using LST. Trying to spread the new branches so they all get the light they need. Temperature 25°C/22°C night. Humidity 40%. Day 24 Bro has reached 25cm high, so I started bending the top branch. Temperature 25°C/22°C night. Humidity 40%. Day 25 Temperature 26°C day/22°C night. Humidity 50°C. Day 26 Temperature 25°C day/22°C night. Humidity 40%. Day 27 Still tucking her leaves, so she gets an even canopy. Counting 11 branches. Temperature 27°C day/24° night. Humidity 50%. Day 28 Temperatures 28°C day/24 night. Humidity 40%.

Day 43 - Starting week 7 and did a little adjusting to a couple of the tie downs. A few branches were starting to get really lengthy so wanted to keep them somewhat tied down so when the bud weight starts coming, it’s not too heavy. Other than that, she seemed to of liked the drink yesterday and is doing really well overall. Day 44 - Nothing much new today, just gave her a little once over, snapped a few new pictures and put her back into the tent. All seems to be going well. Day 46 - This girl is still going strong and she’s starting to smell a bit more each day. For the most part, LST is done with the exception of a few that may still be bendable here and there. Had to give her a little under a half gallon of water today and tucked her leaves. Day 48 - Still chugging along and budding up nicely. Not much happening with her, just giving her water when she needs it and tucking leaves but I have removed a couple that just stayed in the way. Should be ready for some water in another day or two. Day 49 - Ended week 7 today with a full on of water, she’s really starting to drink a lot. Not much else going on or done with her today besides removing a couple fan leaves and tucked the rest.

Ascofol (root stimulant) strongly stimulates plant growth using natural hormones, resulting in both plants showing a slight nitrogen deficiency. Day 1 Bloom ( # 1 ) The plants were trimmed before the light was set to a 12/12 cycle. Day 2 Bloom ( # 2 ) Ascofol has a significant effect on the leaf formation of both plants. Day 3 Bloom ( # 3 ) Ascofol has been reduced. The leaves are growing too quickly. ( # 4 ) The plants were trimmed again and inner leaves were removed. ( # 5 ) 6h later, the leaves have repositioned themselves. Day 4 Bloom ( # 6 ) I moved the plants to the bigger tent and light and added my Chili (capsicum annuum) as a neighbor Day 5 Bloom ( # 7 ) I placed the plants on pedestals so that I could put the fans between the pots. ( # 8 ) Short Clip Day 6 Bloom ( # 9 ) The stretch is noticeable, and the plants are also much thirstier. I will now water them twice a day, giving them 2500 ml each time. ( # 10 ) I placed another SCrOG net over the plants and wove in the first branches. The fun begins.

Vamos familia, actualizamos la cuarta semana de vida de estas Gelato 44 de RoyalQueenSeeds. Tuve problemas con la temperatura que estuvo alta 28/26 grados y humedad dentro de los rangos correctos, la única queja es la temperatura, 16 horas luz, 8 oscuridad, estiraron un poco, pero van lentas por el momento, que cojan fuerza. El trasplante a sido realizado a la maceta definitiva, 7L con sustrato Top crop. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

6th week of flower, I just started increasing N because their color was starting to fade a little sooner than I'd like for a 10-11week strain..

Also guys I have been filling these diaries out wrong and I have recently realised. Lol. But I will try and do better from now on. Happy Growing everyone

She was left to dry for 13 days. I smoked some of her buds while drying. Offical weight could of been higher if I had the patience. She have a unique smell, very fruity and musky. I will have to wait for the cure to give more fair analysis. I smoke her in the evening when I am winding down after work and preparing for sleep. I had to weigh her in two parts. One part I took my time to trim the other I just gave a rough trim and placed in jars. I took about 3hrs to trim.

More and more colors this week, trying to get the best pictures. I gotta cut it down because the trichomes are there. Gotta prep it for that with a little defoliation.

Bobbing along. Moved into its own tent...happier now. Almost at the pre-flower stage and LST going well.

Bewässerung: 1500 ml jeden 2 Tag in der Siebten Woche pH-Wert: 6.2 EC-Wert: 1,4 mS/cm Temperatur: 23ºC Luftfeuchtigkeit: 45% Schädlingsbekämpfung: wir werden die Gelben Aufkleber gegen Thripsen und Trauermücken verwenden. Dann kommen noch 1 Beutel Raubmilben an jede Pflanze und Nematoden in den Boden. PPFD: 800 µmol/m²/s DLI: 34 mol/m²/Tag Düngemittel: Diese Woche bekommen sie von unserem Mineralischen NPK(3,5-6-6) Dünger + einen Boost von Canna PK 13/14, etwas Plagron Green Sensation und natürlich weiter etwas CalMag von BioBizz zu Prävention Besonderheiten: ab Dieser woche wird nur noch entlaubt das LST ist Abgeschlossen und sie Stretchen sich. Zur Steuerung der Ventilatoren und Lampen Benutzen wir GHome Smart Steckdosen diese lassen sich über eine Handy app Programmieren. Die Ventilatoren laufen 1 stunde und dann pausieren sie 1 stunde und so den ganzen Tag im Wechsel. -Tag 51 Beide sind nun richtig in der Blüte, man kann aber jetzt schon klar erkennen das die Runtz #2 kompaktere Budds bildet als die Runtz #1, aber die Runtz #1 wird sicher mehr ertrag geben. Sehen aber soweit beide Gesund aus und bekommen Heute wieder eine gute Portion Dünger :) In ca 4-5 Wochen wird voraussichtlich geerntet. -Tag 53 Heute haben wir wieder beide etwas entlaubt damit die unteren Buds mehr licht bekommen und etwas wachsen, Es wurde auch wieder Dünger gegeben und wir haben die Dosis etwas erhöht. -Tag 55 die Buds werden immer besser und Grösser, beide sehe sehr toll aus. Sie wurden beide wieder etwas entlaubt damit sie mehr licht bekommen :) Heute wurde wieder eine Kontrolle gemacht um zu schauen ob es anzeichen von Männlichen Blüten gibt oder mann sonst ein Defizit erkennen kann.

Casey's Rollex OG has made good progress over the week. She had a solution hangers a few days ago. I added extra cal mag. I believe she has been having calcium issue. It looks like it stopped. Time will tell. She got some lst today, and the center of her defoliated. Everything else has been going great.
