17-07-2024 We have decided to flip them this week as certain light disruptions have caused complications and we are going to avoid anymore. Let's see how they react to the nutrients and go from there

Again all plants are alright. LED runs at 600w, the climate is constant. Plants getting really sticky and smelling more and more.

Had some issues with mildew this week so have been defoliating and spraying with water and h2o2 , added more wind . After three days this has not solved the problem , so had a friend round with his cleanlight uv-c lamp. Hopefully this will clear the problem, caused by bringing the monster Skittles inside from the back garden.

Grape soda, tropical punch, and gasoline. These rock hard flowers were some of the prettiest to watch grow I've ever seen.

She's getting denser every day, down to ph'd water only, maybe another week before chop.

42Fast Buds - Gorilla Zkittlez Auto 🌱 Today marks 70 days, and it's finally time to bring this incredible journey to an end. 💫 Honestly, I can hardly bring myself to cut her down, I've grown so attached to her, and she's just so beautiful. But the trichomes have turned a deep amber, and there's no more time to wait. For the last 6 days, we’ve been flushing her roots with ice-cold water, watching as she transformed, her colors changing and becoming even more stunning. It wasn’t just a grow – it was a true process of evolution. I want to give a huge thanks to 42FAST Buds for their amazing genetics and for allowing me to grow such a phenomenal strain. Gorilla Zkittlez Auto is an absolute masterpiece! 💥 Special thanks to Xpert Nutrients for their incredible fertilizers and ongoing support. Without you, we wouldn’t have achieved these remarkable results. You helped grow not just a plant, but a true work of art! 🌟

👽Salaam to all! Another week has passed. Today I will start with nutritional information this week, I will tell you how I trained my beauty and what basic fertilizers I use. 👋This week I made a new solution, for ~ 9.5 liters of water I used: Liquid Silicone 3 ml 2 milliliters Calcium Magnesium 7.8 Gro, 5.2 Micro, 2.6 Bloom And 6.5 ml pH Down I got 666ppm and 5.5 pH. I immediately poured 8 liters into the system, and within a week I topped up the leftovers and adjusting the PH from time to time. Additionally, on the sheet, I use stimulants Root Booster, Energy Spell, Fulvic. 💪Now about training: At the beginning of the week, I did super cropping, a technique that involves breaking the stem of a plant to inflict minor damage and stress on it. And as we know, the natural response to stress in our plant is the production of cannabinoids. Therefore, by properly sprinkling the branches of the plant, we will kill two birds with one stone: we will get an effective bush shape and increase the potential of the cones. I also did this so that the side branches grow back faster and the plant does not receive early stress from the cut off head. At the end of the week, I did the topping, as the plant continued to grow well and reached the 6 floors I needed. Topping (from the English verb to top - to cut; in Russian it is also used "to stomp") - a cut of the top of the plant between the nodes (internodes / pairs of leaves). Such training is carried out when the plant already has nodes. This breaks the classic herringbone shape of the plant, giving the nodes light and air. And the plant, instead of concentrating all its forces on the central cola, begins to pay attention (read energy and nutrients) to new growth points, which will later become colas. 🙌And finally, I'll tell you about fertilizers: We need to start with this: GHE Flora Series (now called Terra Aquatica in my country), consisting of three components and developed in California in the mid 70s of the last century. Since then, its formula has been improved many times. This drug is able to give a plant everything that it needs at all stages of its growth by varying the proportions of its components and their concentration. It contains all the necessary useful elements and trace elements. FloraGro. This component provides the plant with vigorous growth during the growing season. FloraBloom. During the growth period, this component allows the formation of the roots of the plant culture. In addition, it has a positive effect on his general condition. This component acts most effectively during the flowering and fruiting period, when its capabilities are realized one hundred percent. FloraMicro. This component is considered basic. Its main task is to feed the plants with all the required elements in the form of chelates. They include sub-trace elements, which are secondary substances. FloraMicro contains buffering particles to help stabilize the acidity (pH) of the solution. 🙏Thanks to everyone who reads my report and gives feedback. This is very important and makes me happy. Feel free to ask questions or make recommendations. Next week I will talk about the supplements and stimulants I use, as well as show the effects of my workouts. See you soon. Peace for everyone! ✊

Aug 3: still going strong starting the third week of flowering. I’m putting her in the garage at 9 pm, doing the 730 nm far red light to put plant into dark mode 2 h faster, and then out of garage at 7 am. So 10+ 2 h is 12 h dark and 14 h daylight or a 26 h day. The far red light definitely works as a bloom booster and helps the plants finish faster when the sun is stronger. Did morning foliar spray of Extreme Blend and potassium silicate. Aug 4: always some defoliation to be done and I took out all the small stuff that was growing into the centre. If I had a longer season I could have left some of these small branches but I want the energy directed toward the prime bud sites. Also removing leaves makes it more stable in the wind. Yet another growing trade-off. Aug 5: she looks great coming out of the dark garage this morning. Lots of colas with lots of buds 👍👍 Aug 6: added UV lights from AC Infinity. This far north we run out of strong sunlight before it gets too cold in the fall. By adding UV lights, this will make Edmonton in September seem like California in July. Along with genetics, UV light is the main factor controlling trichome and THC production. Adding UV light for a couple of hours per day centred at peak sun (currently 1:39 pm) should help a lot this far north. At the other end of the light spectrum, I use Forever Green Indoor (FGI) 730 nm far red light. This is the third season using the far red light as a bloom booster and it definitely works. A few seconds at dusk is all it takes to put the plant into dark mode two hours faster, and is like getting a 26 h day. Bud ripen earlier and therefore under stronger sun. Both of these lights are low power LED used for a few hours (UV) or just a few seconds (far red). Gotta love science and technology when it allows us to figure this kind of out.

02/06/2025, start of week 3, decided to do a bit of LST (tied down main stem) let's see how she responds. Reduced humidity by around 8% to increase leaf VPD to between 0.7 and 1.0 kpa, and lowered the light a little more, increasing to around 300 PPFD for this week. Hoping to see a bit of a rush of growth once she recovers from the LST as I expect flowering will start in the next 2 weeks and need her to fill out a.s.a.p Update 04/06/2025, Looks like I should have probably waited for the next node to stretch a little and then tied her down as I could have brought the top full level with the the other shoots and perhaps encourage better branching as this particular girl doesn't seem to be very branchy, this may change though, will probably have to bend her again but time it better so I can actually tie round the very top instead of one node down and hopefully then encourage some real branching and filling out. Another lesson learned for this rookie. Update: 06/06/2025, fed at 1.2 ec ph 6.2. Update 08/08/2025, end of week, should have waited at least a couple more days to water, she looks over watered, not terrible though and looking better this morning than yesterday morning, will make sure she is properly dry next time.

420 Fastbuds FBT2306 Week 5 These two have gone into flower absolutely amazing. The flower sites are showing up beautifully. Over all haven't done much on these besides giving another defoliation and lollipoped them taking off the lower nodes. Should allow them plenty of light through flower and air to prevent moisture build up at pot level. All in all Happy Growing

Se aplicó defoliación para que los brotes que no se ven bien comiencen a salir a la luz. Al otro día reaccionaron muy bien a la defoliación (para poder hacerla se sacó la malla y se volvió a poner). Todo bien, todo como se espera. Seguimos 👽 ....

"Chugging" along this week. Weather is hot, girls are loving the all time drip system. Forgot that my nutes and hot sun dont mix well and created a bad case of algae. Will monitor more often and maybe increase the drip flow

Kannabia Run – Flowering Day 1 🌸 Today we flipped the lights to 12/12 and officially enter the flowering stage! 🌞🌙 In just one week, the plants have taken off, looking strong and healthy. 💪🌿 The Cherry Dreams, which had shown signs of stress, have fully recovered and are now ready for the next stage. One of them has an incredible aroma — fruity with a unique hint that reminds me of sweet candy and something wild 🍑 It would be perfect for cloning, but I haven’t started a mother plant program yet. Someday, I definitely will! 🌱 Everything looks beautiful and full of promise as we begin this journey! ♥️ Good luck on this run, Kannabia! 🚀

So far it seems to be fine even if the high humidity worries me even if the temperatures are still high then they have stopped growing and will finally focus on the flowers and slowly we recover these small deficiencies

13cm vertical growth this week. She's now 24cm tall. She seems to be growing... but very slow. She's still in veg, no sign of any flowers yet..
