2024-11-27 to 2024-12-02 The first time I grew Chernobyl, the plant was dense and unruly with thick, lush vegetation. In fact, the plant took up so much room in my tent that I have it to a friend to finish outdoor. It showed signs of bud rot early in the flowering period and luckily, most of it was saved from itself. In addition, the stems of this strain are more hollow and brittle, gaining thickness quickly and making Low Stress Training a difficult task that requires patience when working the branches around the LST clips. I have broken many branches on a Chernobyl plant even when applying care and caution. It requires getting the plant to the shape and size you need early, so that silica can be added to strengthen the branches in prep for those killer nugs. They are taking about .5 gallons of feed every other day.

Day 45-52 (Day 46) I just realized I forgot to zip up a small flap in the tent for at least 5 days or so. This probably made the added co2 useless. All the plants are slightly clawing and almost look overwatered, which is normal for plant at this stage but I wonder if the lower co2 levels are contributing at all. I couldn’t help myself today and did a small defoliation. Hopefully this doesn’t stress them out too much. I took about 15-20 leaves per plant. I really want some of this larf on the bottom fill out more. Even by 10-15%. (Day 47) Wow. I just noticed that #5 is putting on a thick layer of late frost. I’m guessing this has to do with all the mid flower feedings. Unfortunately the density on this girl lacking big time. Especially on the lowers. This could be genetic but there is too many variables at play to say for sure. If this stuff smokes proper I will continue to feed in mid flower. Plants are really starting to fade out here now. #3 in particular has some odd red coloring in a few of the leaves. (Day 48) I watered in 2 gallons on each plant making sure to get some decent runoff from each. Sucks that #3 didn’t fill out. The genetic potential was definitely there, something just went awry after that tea I gave it. I have at least 2 or 3 clones of that I will try outdoors. It’s been a very P hungry plant too. The stems were purpling like crazy, even in veg. Some people say this can be fixed with a microbial product like Mammoth P or Tribus which I might try for my next grow. #6 isn’t really filling out much either unfortunately. Tops look decent but everything under that is pretty leafy and airy. #1 and #7 are the clear winners here. #1 especially is picture perfect. If I wasn’t working on another project after this I would clone just #1 and run another scrog like this from clone. (Day 50) I was plucking some leaves today and I found a confirmed banana sticking out of one of the main colas on the stubby pheno. I didn’t defoliate this one too much so I wonder if it was caused by stress at all. I hope I don’t find anymore because we only have 10 days left here. (Day 52) My family member trimmed up the m39. It looks super scraggly but has some decent crystal nonetheless. That’s partly why I would never use an amazon blurple for flowering. It just doesn’t have the same canopy penetration that a light like mine does. Although for a budget setup they’re pretty awesome.

This girl took very well to LST and defoliating. Didn’t notice any sort of stunting from the defoliating, she chugged on as if nothing happened to her.

so i just have a short video, camera isnt working so well, good growth same as last week, should have a better camera as it comes to harvest to show off the ladies better UPDATE so like the genius i am i did some math and realized that today is literally the end/start of week 9 so im adding the pics i took last night thinking that it was week 9 pics lol

Hello. This is the end of week 9 and the beginning of week 10 of veg. Got them outside and repotted. They look much happier... Look at the last pictures to see they have grown a few inches in a few days. I put a heat sink in this year. 8 - 5 gallon containers were put under the table and are supposed to trap the heat and release it slowly. You can see the white containers behind the plants under the middle of the table. I'll take them out when it gets warmer at night. The soil is 5 gallons of SunShine Mix #4 ( 70% Moss) and 5 gallons of compost from my household composter. I mixed them together. I surrounded the root ball with the SunShine Mix neutral ph soil, so the root ball doesn't get burnt by the hot soil. The roots will grow into the mixed soil when they are ready. Lots of light in there with the new window film I've installed. Plants have a tangy smell to them. OK. Be Great. Chuck.

Day 50 and a new week... the summer comes back to germany and "Hilde 2.0" goes well 🙏😀

So close to ready, I probably could take her down now, but my thinking is that since this is a cbd strain, I'll leave her longer and get more of that couch lock. Flushing her so giving 0 nutrients, only phdown. She is in the garage more than she is outside because the weather is so bad, so I improved her accommodation, put her under a couple of sky100s and surrounded with some reflective material I have, bundled the buds as close as possible to get more lights concentrated.

girls smell sweet and are stacking like right on top of one another. I had to splay her out and thin some leaves to ensure good airflow. This is the Wedding cake XL so I am starting to see what the buds are going to looks like on this one. Can't get over the fresh sweet smell.

Winter Greenhouse grow #2 Dutch Passion seeds Hollands Hope 6th May 2020 Well that was a turbulant week of weather for these two poor liitle ladies and from the look of the sky , they are in for more. Last night we had a severe storm here with wind gusts at or above 100kmh an hour and heavy rain of about 45mm in the rain guage this morning. The temp is currently 8 degrees outside at 12 noon and the minimum was 2 @ 630 am this morning. I was half expecting to see the greenhouse had been smashed to pieces but luckily it seems to have survived so far relatively unscathed, apart from the odd rip in the roof that is letting in water from the rain. Both plants got an absolute drenching and you can see by the plant 1's droopiness that they are not liking it . The only thing I could do was move them to another part of the greenhouse that didn't seem to be leaking and when the weather settles down I will line the inside of the greenhouse with new plastic . This will be a grow that I will need to plan one week at a time as anything could happen the way our weathers been here Thanks for stopping by 👍

Hey everyone! 😊 I hope you all find the title fitting for my upcoming grow, which I’ll be starting soon. In my past grows, I've been using BioBizz with my tap water. Some runs turned out great (especially with the S.A.D. strain 🌿), while the current grow has been a bit mixed. This time, though, I’m ready to try something totally new! I’ll be using three plants of the same strain but with three different fertilizers – BioBizz, Green House Powder Feeding, and Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect Sensi. 🚀🌱✨

3/16: All but the short GG4 Sherbet are stretching well... 3/17: Fed today. Added open sesame and signal to their diet.

I think I won't add anymore nutrients to the water, instead I'll just let the plant fade naturally. It should only have another week or two of flower.

Shes the only one and shes the best of the box.... Big plants big yield. Good resin and good smell 🙂🙃

Pretty heavy yield for only 2 plants they smell and look astounding. Harvested in 2 parts. To allow the lower buds to densen and mature.

She is coming down , so sad for this but she is not weal at all, Thanks for the support and i just planted enother girl , so sad but this time it had to be' done ✌️✌️

Day 18: They are all looking good. I did a full strength feed at 350 ppm. They got moved into the 4x4 under the sf4000 at 50%. They are between 4 & 5 nodes. I’m going to have to come up with a plan depending on plant structure. I cleared out the other 4x4 with 2 vivosun 600s as overflow if need be. Theres a short squat one and tall slender one and everything in between. Im having trouble dialing in the temps but they’re looking happy so…… Just letting them grow, may do minor training or maybe major haha idk. Happy Growing 🌱 Day 22: moved them to the flower tent, topped, SF4000 at 50% approx 40” above canopy.

I have not been at home too much this week so theres not too many photos but im flushing right now just counting down the days to chop this plant down! I have a problem with foxtails due to my tent not being high enough to raise the lights but thats fine.... ill get a new tent pretty soon ( This is my first Indoor grow! thats why im still learning about lights and all that.. I used to grow outdoors so my indoor and autoflower techniques still in baby steps

Day 28: 300ml water + 2ml/l biogrow + 1ml/l biobloom Started LST on #2 I just remember u, that TM #1 got removed, only growing 2 TM. 🍁😵 Day 31: 500ml water + 1ml/l sensicalmag xtra LST #2 #3 minor defoliation Switched LED to flower mode Day 33: Delta 9 6ml/l foliar aplication / 500ml + 1ml/l biobloom + 2ml/l biogrow Added another led ligh (50w) Day 34: Last LST Day 35: 500ml water + 1ml/l calmagextra

Shes close!! lol I think I might be missing a week oh well lol she is the plumpest auto in the tent of the 4 by far!!! she lookin thiiiickkkkkkk. shes got about 5 giant colas, lots of trichs and stanks real good!!! indoor and outdoor have their own goals but this is obviously alot higher quality than outdoor! The next update could quite possibly be the harvest 😎
