Hey hey everybody! We are back here this week at the beginning of week 13 and it is almost that time… time to flip? ….I wish…. No, no…. I am trying to be good but I think I came up with a plan that will give me a rough idea of when I will see that light at the end of the tunnel- or we’ll at least flip that light to 12/12 haha- No no it is almost Christmas and things have been crazy over here. With the holiday madness upon us, I can’t tell all of you how much I have appreciated the relative silence (you know how it is, there are multiple fans running) time seems to slow down and it just us and the plants. Quite enjoyable. So as you already know, we are going to be on coast until we fill out the rest of that 3x3 scrog net- however just today on my way into work, I came up with what might be my new definitive plan… I have had a bit of trouble waiting, no doubt it will be worth the wait, but the wait has been difficult none the less… so here it is.. Here’s what I’m thinking- I have this going and I also have some fastbuds growing in the same area. What I am most likely going to do- is wait until it’s time for the fastbuds to come down to open up some space in the 5x5 and the rock candy cake can have all that space to herself- I will shift the scrog into the center of the tent and then flip the light schedule to 12/12 and let it run wild- it’s at this point I will most likely employ a more hands off approach so it can focus all of its energy on producing buds worthy of such a wait. The canopy is getting pretty lush and I really need to get in there and defoliate- I really lucked out, today was the last day I had to work until after Christmas so you KNOW I will be in there tomorrow plucking away at leaves (strategically of course) half kidding I’m probably still a whirlwind compared to some, but I’ve noticed- especially when it comes to autos, that my leaf selection has become much more refined when defoliating. PROBABLY gonna see a BIT less of that tomorrow as I have to open up the canopy but I still plan on being careful. Something else that was super cool who may not be following along with the other journal, happened oddly enough just the other day when I was doing dishes- I was scrubbing away with my phone all propped up so I could watch/listen to dude grows. And I heard the dude mention a contest on their website that I had entered… of course my ears perked up, I leaned in a little closer to take a look and was thinking to myself how cool it would be, even to see my picture in the background and sure enough there it was and they brought it up and commented on the submission and seemed to be genuinely enthused by it and let me tell you I am STILL riding high off that one! One thing that was cool too was a rep at a nutrient company had seen that and congratulated me as well and it was again just so cool and I’m honored to have been on there! I listen to them practically everyday at work- yeah words are not doing it justice right now but I was stoked!!! Other than that, the holidays are practically upon us so I’d imagine it’ll be a whole lot of family activity with a side of unintentional neglect that I plan on keeping to an absolute minimum because we are right around the corner from some excitement in that tent- that thing is going to be HUGE! So we have that to look forward to! And on that note, I just want to say that from our home to yours, I truly hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and I can’t wait to come back and get into the garden talk with all my growmies! Growers love everybody and happy holiday!! 💚🤙🌱🎅🏼🎁🎄

Day one of this week entailed me going to the hydro shop, grabbing so blue sky organics super soil, some 1 gal fabric pots and off I went. I always pot my soil then water the pots down and wait 24 hours for everything to acclimate so as to not shock my seeds. I germinate straight into the soil. I will post more pics to beef up this week! I will be planting 2 fastbuds orange sherbet beans, 1 in a 1gal fabric pot and 1 in a 3gal from the bucket company.

Flushhhhh

This girl survived Hurricane Beryl on Monday 1st July 2024...It's clear she is destined for greatness. Give thanks to Jah for his mercies on the herb.

Chugging along

Using 2 seeds in a luke warm water shotglass. Placing in cupboard to germinate. Day1: Nothing yet Day2: One of the seeds started to sprout. Showing it's sexy little tail. I'll monitor the growth in the next 24hrs and then decide whether she's ready for the sproutling pot or not. Day3: Tails were looking pretty good - forgot to take a photo :/ roughly 1cm for one of them, which is the one that I decided to plant. It really hurt when I chucked the other seed, but I really only need one plant. Soil mix for the sproutling: Coco Coir - 70%, Vermiculite - 15%, Perlite - 15%. I also added Greenhouse Feeding "BioGrow" and Mycorrhiza. The picture was taken from my RPi + Cam setup that will be taking 2 photos/min. I'll post the timelapse at the end of the day. Day4: Running the whole day in the tent with ventilation running minimally. Light only at 20%. No action, so I deleted all the pictures except for the last one taken before the lights went out. Day5: No activity above the soil level. Probably spent the whole day focusing on root growth. Day6: At around 09:20 I watered again and with this uncovered the first signs of life! The rest of the day was mostly uneventful - until the evening. Roughly 2hrs before lights-out she started to move. Day7: Things starting to look really good :)

8.73 oz from 2 plants. Very dense and potent nugs. Love it so far. Now for curing

14/10/2023 - Day 139

Flushed and giving plan water for next lil while

03.02 • all plants are in full flower mode, i think stretch is almost over, smell is getting stronger 04.02 • having big problems with RH... average 60+%....can't get it much below that 05.02 • watered all plants with 1L 06.02 • watered some more & cleaned the filter of the pump

On day 1 I adjusted the PH from 6.6 to 6.2. The tallest cola is 13.75" away from light. On day 2 I adjusted the PH from 6.4 to 6.2. The tallest cola is 12.5" away from light. On day 3 the PH is 6.2. The tallest cola is 11.5" from the light. On day 4 I didn't take data points long day... On day 5 the rez PH is 6.2. the tallest cola is 10" from the light. On day 6 the rez PH is 6.0. The tallest cola is 9.5" from the light. I defoliated heavily to bring in more light and airflow. On day 7 The tallest cola is 9" from the light. I mixed up a new rez.

No earlier pictures as only just found this site first ever grow

Ehi ragazzi sono super eccitatto per il risultato di questa splendida ragazza! Questa volta sweet seeds si è superata! Lei è praticamente pronta, due settimane in anticipo circa sulle altre, e devo dire che stanno uscendo dei colori davvero spettacolari! Poi le cime sono un po' piccoline rispetto alle sorelle, ma sono dure come sassi! Davvero non sto scherzando! Sarà difficile grindare dei sassi stracolmi di resina e thc come questi! A presto provvederò a raccogliere, come potete vedere c'è stato un upgrade da parte di Mars Hydro che mi ha mandato una nuova tenda completa con la nuova luce FC 3000 evo!!!! Per ora la sta utilizzando solo per fare completare la fioritura di questo splendido fenotipo che è uscito! Un odore dolciastro di frutti e un po' speziato, devo dire che mi piace un sacco! Nuovii progetti sono all orizzonte! 💪🧑‍🌾💪Ne vedrete delle belle!! 😁Buon 420. A tutti spero vi piacciano le mie ragazze come piacciono a me! Vi adoro! 🙏💪😸😺🌱🌿🌲🧑‍🌾

Good growing week, updates in the video. Audio is a bit shit at the start but does get better. Didn't mention in the vid but I did give them a small defoliation a few days ago, just leaves impeding undergrowth and nothing crazy, 2 or 3 of each plant

Ik heb wat slechte blaadjes gesnoeid. Ze groeit, maar er hangen sinds vandaag een paar slappe bladeren bij die naar beneden hangen. Misschien heb ik haar teveel voeding gegeven met de green sensation en had ik het langzaam moeten opbouwen. Even afwachten hoe dit zich voortzet.

This weeks update! Grow tent- so I had a buddy do my res change I talked him through the whole process couldn’t make it to the grow this week. Number and everything where perfect but!. He didn’t close the valve all the way to the blue dream res tank and left the drain pump on🤦‍♂️🏾. So when I got there this week leaves where curling and brown thought it might be a nutrient issue. Opened the res to check it. And there was only about a gallon of water in there out of the usual seven. No major harm I was planning on doing my last defoliation to her this week anyway. But that could have been bad. They are both receiving half strength nutes of the ripening mix GH recommends. Would have been a perfect week if not for that. No harm no foul tho. But def bout to start pushing them on the flower nutes and get back up to my 1000 ppm range buy adding extra bloom formula! #Staykited

Thanks for stopping by.. Please hit the like button if you like what you see and ill be sure to check you out too Growmies 🌱 Week 4 of flower that week were things are starting to look gooood, i really hope the stretching has stopped because as you can see they are over 5 foot now absolutely insane 🤣🌱 I must say these Royal Queen seeds are on another level and a have been rapid all the way through… can’t wait to try there more dominant Indica strains, Just added a Co2 Bag and wacked the FC3000 up to 100% Temps around 24-28 ✅ Humidity around 50-70 ❌ Struggling a bit to keep the humidity down so will add a small dehumidifier this week, Need to lose alot of foliage but dont want to shock to much as this stage so just removing where essential, But overall happy how things are moving 👍
