Tag 39: Leider ist die größer geworden als erwartet...kaum noch Platz zur Lamepe, ich befürchte Verbrennungen.

Day 28 flower i didnt touch the plant this week shes also put in the 4x4 today under the se5000 with the rest of the plants

Longer warmer days

Lemon Cake & Lemon Drizzle Week 5 This week 5/5-5/11 Germination April 6. Vegetation Week 1 water only Week 2 water only Week 3 added recharge and TPS1 increased ppm to 570. Week 4 continues with recharge and TPS1. I added Fox Cal mag increasing ppm to 685 - 805. Week 5 TPS1 9ml/gal Recharge 5 ml/gal Fox Cal-mag 5 ml/gal This was an exciting week for my ladies. It started out with the usual feed and defoliation and training. With my upcoming vacation, I am going to be hardening off these ladies to relocate to their outside location. I checked the expected weather forecast for the week. Looks good to start hardening off. Partly cloudy with temps in the low to mid 80s just like in their tent. So that’s good. Night temperatures were in the 50-60s. This is much cooler than what they are used to as our house is at 73. Our summers are hot and humid with frequent thunderstorms. They need to get used to what mother nature will provide. I had planned to bring the plants back in the sunroom but since conditions were similar, I let them stay outside every night. And every night but 2 it rained. I did not water or feed nutrients this week. I am attempting the scrog technique on all plants. I am using a peony cage as the support structure. The cages are about 2 feet high. This may not be enough side or top support as she grows and may have to resort to tomato cages. Took pics May 6,9, & 11 Lemon girls both had mutations at germination. Lemon Drizzle split ot topped herself. This creates two main plant stalks. The primary and a smaller secondary stalk. Lemon drizzle has stretched above the scrog top opening up her structure. Today she has an erratic top canopy in multiple levels with multiple bud sites. Interesting her nodes have for this week started to develop off set from each other. Does that mean she is going into flower sooner than expected? Thanks for the visits, likes and comment, I appreciate all the plant love💚. Have fun & love what you grow 💚 Sending you good vibes of love, light, and healing 💫 💫Natrona 💫 BARNEYS FARM- LEMON DRIZZLE Lemon Drizzle Cannabis Seeds Type: Feminized Weed Strain Lemon Drizzle Strain by Barneys Farm Indulge yourself in the tantalizing aroma of our Lemon Drizzle strain, a sensually crafted cannabis strain that is sure to tantalize your senses and leave you in a state of blissful euphoria.

Let's look at this great strain and learn about its genetics, growing information, and how to obtain it. Cultivar Profile Terpenes Caryophyllene, Myrcene, Terpinolene Strain Type Sativa Difficulty Moderate Height 30 in – 78 in Yield (oz/ft2) 1 – 3 Flowering Time 9 – 10 weeks Harvest Month October Pack Size 3, 6, 12, 24 Seed Type Feminized Brand Premium Cultivars The History of Lemon Cake Strain Seeds Lemon Cake by the European-based firm Heavyweight Seeds is a strong Sativa-dominant hybrid of Lemon Skunk and Cheese. Lemon Cake seeds are easy to cultivate, especially outdoors, with a 9-10 week flowering cycle, squat shape, and large output. How to Germinate Lemon Cake Strain Seeds There are several ways to sprout your Lemon Cake strain seeds, but they are more complex, inexpensive, and efficient than the paper towel technique. Premium Cultivars suggests this method since it is simple to implement, involves commonly available tools, and ensures germination. Here’s a 9-step process for geminating Lemon Cake seeds: 1. Collect your essential tools: Lemon Cake seeds, dinner plates, distilled or bottled water, tweezers, and a working table. 2. Wet your paper towel sheets and gently squeeze the excess water. 3. Set one of the paper towels on the dinner plate and the other aside for later usage. 4. Pick your Lemon Cake strain seeds with tweezers and spread them on the towel sheet, allowing an inch between them. 5. Cover your cannabis seeds using the second paper towel. Check if the towel is moist, and if not, add water. 6. Lift the towel sheets and ensure no standing water is present. Return the paper towel and your Lemon Cake seeds carefully. 7. Place the setup in warm, dark areas, particularly a cupboard or drawer (20-120 hours). 8. Check to determine whether your Lemon Cake cannabis seeds are sprouting regularly, and if the paper towel remains moist, add water if it does not. 9. Once taproots have emerged from your Lemon Cake seeds, transplant them to your ideal growing medium. Why are Feminized Seeds Better than Regs? Feminized cannabis seeds yield only female plants (or around 99.9% female). Conversely, regular seeds generate a mix of male and female plants. Each seed strain has advantages and cons, with the grower’s specific needs ultimately determining the best. Gardeners mostly use regular cannabis seeds to create their strains, but feminized cannabis seeds are great for farmers looking for a cannabinoid-rich, bud-producing crop. Male cannabis plants generate just pollen sacs and no resinous blooms. This resin contains cannabinoids and terpenes, which are responsible for cannabis’ desirable properties. If male plants pollinate female plants, their blooms will cease releasing resin and begin producing seeds. In short, male cannabis plants do not aid in pursuing massive, powerful harvests. Nonetheless, male plants are critical to the survival of the species as well as the breeding and improvement of cannabis strains. So don’t dismiss them right away! Growing Lemon Cake Strain Seeds The Lemon Cake cannabis strain has grown in popularity due to its ease of cultivation and high yields. It’s a medium-sized plant with long branches that can use some assistance toward the end. It is rather ordinary in terms of temperature and disease resistance since it is not overly prone to unfavorable circumstances or pests. However, if you grow with hydroponics, you won’t have to bother with any of that. Should I Grow Lemon Cake Strain Seeds Indoors or Outdoors? Lemon Cake thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments. The height of this cannabis strain is one factor to consider: it can reach heights of 200cm, requiring either a large grow space or a yard to attain its full potential. Growing Lemon Cake Strain Indoors If you want to cultivate your Lemon Cake seeds (you can buy these finest seeds from Premium Cultivars) inside, you should invest in exhaust fans or carbon air filters due to the room’s strong odor. Also, if conditions are ideal, growers should expect a large yield after 9-10 weeks of flowering. Growing Lemon Cake Strain Seeds Outdoors Outdoor growers can harvest their Lemon Cake buds around the middle of October. How Much Do Lemon Cake Strain Seeds Yield? Lemon Cake can produce roughly 25 ounces per plant outdoors and 21-25 ounces per square meter when grown inside. Although you might be tempted to cut it down right away, waiting as long as possible before harvesting it and curing it correctly to enhance the quality is recommended. How to Get Better Yields from Your Lemon Cake Strain Seeds Harvest rewards are frequently a mirror of cultivation care, so be kind to your Lemon Cake plants, and they will be gentle with you. However, growers should regularly top and prune their Lemon Cake plants to improve airflow and light exposure, thus raising yields. The Best Grow Medium for Lemon Cake Strain Seeds Cultivators can grow Lemon Cake seeds in hydroponic or soil systems. However, experts propose using a precise hydroponic arrangement to achieve optimal production and control its occasionally unpredictable growth rates. The Best Climate for Lemon Cake Strain Seeds Lemon Cake strain enjoys warm, semi-humid areas and is inherently resilient, having excellent mold and disease resistance. Growing outside is only acceptable in warmer climates, as this cannabis strain needs sunlight. Problems to Look Out For When Growing Lemon Cake Strain Seeds When cultivating Lemon Cake cannabis seeds, the primary issue to watch out for is dehydration and overwatering when the crops are little and susceptible. If the leaves of your Lemon Cake plant turn yellow, this indicates that the plant isn’t receiving enough oxygen to the roots. How Difficult is it to Grow Lemon Cake Strain? One of Lemon Cake’s noteworthy characteristics is its simplicity of cultivation. Are Lemon Cake Strain Seeds Suitable for Beginners? Yes, these cannabis stain seeds are great for novice growers, and they will obtain outstanding results. The Best Grow Techniques for Lemon Cake Strain Topping Topping encourages the plant to grow horizontally rather than vertically, but when it does so is determined by soil condition, plant health, light, plant size and age, and growth goals. Topping cannabis reshapes the crop in a way that improves light dispersion significantly. Cutting one tall branch to make multiple new ones at the same height guarantees that lower (buds on lower branches) also receive more light. Another essential reason to top your cannabis crop is for better height management. Logically, the two new branches develop slower than the one branch. Topping a cannabis plant separates its development into several branches. Making the plant grow less in height while putting more energy into expanding broader. This is incredibly convenient for growers, especially for limited indoor plants. Trimming Trimming can be an excellent technique for cannabis producers who have been cultivating a plant for a long time to connect with it while boosting the quality and form of the buds. There are two methods for trimming cannabis plants: wet and dry. Wet trimming, as the name implies, happens when the cannabis plant is still wet. This means you harvest your plants and immediately begin the trimming procedure. Conversely, dry trimming will necessitate drying your crops out for a few days before you start trimming the bud. If you’re cultivating cannabis at home, you’ll almost certainly have to perform all this by hand. For devoted producers, machine trimmers are available, making the operation considerably less labor-intensive. However, due to their high cost, commercial farmers mainly utilize them. Trimming can be time-consuming for many growers, but it’s also thrilling since the growth process is almost complete, and your cannabis is almost ready to have. After you’ve completed trimming, there’s one more step left until you have a great bud: curing. Pruning Pruning is the practice of eliminating extraneous shoots, branches, and leaves from a plant to push it to redirect its limited energy into its present and established development. When left to its own devices, a cannabis plant will frequently grow too large to sustain itself properly with the quantity of energy it generates. If left untreated, this can lead to several minor bud sites as the plant strains to survive while creating bud during flowering. By eliminating unneeded and weak growth, you push the cannabis plant to focus on what remains, resulting in a stronger plant capable of producing a few huge buds rather than many little ones. This frequently leads to higher total yields.

Starting to have an awesome smell

🍬 Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 11 ✨ The Glamorous Survivor Is Bulking Up Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Well... Our other solo survivor is still doing exactly what she has been doing from the beginning. Her own thing. 😂🍬 And honestly? I'm really starting to love the way this girl is developing. She's stacking. She's bulking. She's putting flowers absolutely everywhere. She's developing a beautiful structure. She's maintaining that gorgeous colour. And those pistils... Oh, those pistils. 😍 They're not the bright, almost pure white we're seeing on some of the other girls. They're starting to carry a warmer, slightly yellowish tone. And against that beautiful green foliage and developing flowers? It looks absolutely gorgeous. She's becoming one of those plants where you don't need anything dramatic to happen. You just walk in... look at her... and smile. Because she's doing beautifully. 🍬💚✨ ──────────────────────── ✨ THE SOLO SURVIVOR KEEPS SHINING ──────────────────────── I think by now we've officially moved past the "survivor" part of the story. 😂 She survived. She established herself. She grew. She flowered. And now? She's building. Big time. Candy Rain continues to develop at her own rhythm, and what I'm really enjoying this week is how much more substantial the flowering structure is becoming. She's not simply maintaining flowers anymore. She's building them. Stacking them. Bulking them. And filling her plant with them. This girl has flowers everywhere. 🌸🌸🌸 And somehow she still maintains that elegant, calm personality we've come to know. She's not screaming for attention. She's just quietly becoming more and more impressive. And honestly... that's a beautiful way to grow. ──────────────────────── 🌸 SHE'S STACKING ──────────────────────── This is probably the biggest thing catching my attention this week. The stacking. The flowers are building on top of the structure we've been watching develop over the previous weeks. Individual flowering sites are becoming increasingly substantial. The bud structures are becoming more defined. And when you look across the plant, you start seeing flowers everywhere you look. This is the point where all those earlier weeks of development start paying off visually. The framework was built. The flowers appeared. The flowers developed. And now they're beginning to bulk. It's really satisfying to watch. Because this isn't one impressive cola doing all the work. It's the whole plant participating. Flower after flower. Branch after branch. Stack after stack. 🍬🌸🔥 ──────────────────────── 💚 BUDS EVERYWHERE ──────────────────────── One of the things I really like about Candy Rain is how evenly she seems to be filling her space. Look around her... there are flowers everywhere. And that's what makes her so enjoyable to photograph. You can start with the whole plant. Then you find one branch. Then another. Then another flower. And suddenly you're wondering how you didn't notice all those flowers before. 😂📸 She's becoming increasingly full. The individual flowers are gaining presence. The structure is becoming more substantial. And the overall plant is starting to look like one beautiful flowering mass rather than simply a plant that happens to have flowers on it. She's getting there. And she's getting there beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🌼 THOSE PISTILS... ──────────────────────── Now let's talk about something I particularly noticed this week. The pistils. 😍 They're beautiful. But they're not the same bright white we're seeing on some of the other girls. Candy Rain is giving us a slightly warmer expression. A little more yellowish. A little more golden. And against the green foliage? It's stunning. There's something about that warmer tone that gives the flowers a completely different character. It's subtle. It's not screaming for attention. But once you notice it... you keep noticing it. And that's exactly what I love about phenotype hunting. Sometimes the differences aren't enormous. Sometimes they're little details. A slightly different colour. A slightly different structure. A different rhythm. A different way of stacking. And those little differences become part of the identity of the plant. Candy Rain has her own signature. 🍬🌼💚 ──────────────────────── ❄️ THE FROST IS STILL THERE ──────────────────────── And of course... we can't forget the resin. 😂❄️ The flowers continue developing that beautiful frosty character. The closer you look, the more detail appears. Trichomes. Pistils. Flower structure. Texture. All those little things happening simultaneously. And this is exactly where photography becomes dangerous again. 😂📸 You take one photograph. Then you see something interesting. So you move closer. Then you see even more. And before you know it, you've been staring at one flower for ten minutes. But that's the beauty of this stage. The plants are giving us more and more detail to discover. And Candy Rain has plenty. ──────────────────────── 🌿 BEAUTIFUL COLOUR, BEAUTIFUL CONTRAST ──────────────────────── Another thing I continue to really like about this girl is the colour. Those deep greens. The flowers developing against them. The warmer pistils. The frost developing across the flower surfaces. Everything is coming together beautifully. She's got that rich, almost classic flowering-plant appearance. Nothing feels out of place. Nothing is screaming for attention. It's simply... balanced. And sometimes balance is what makes a plant beautiful. Candy Rain doesn't need to be the strangest plant in the room. She doesn't need to be the tallest. She doesn't need to have the most unusual structure. She simply needs to be herself. And she's doing that extremely well. ──────────────────────── SAME ROOM. SAME WORLD. DIFFERENT STORY. ──────────────────────── And once again, we come back to the heart of the 8×8 Adventure. For anyone discovering this diary now: We're growing twelve different plants together under the same general ecosystem. Same room. Same lighting philosophy. Same 12/12 schedule. Same environmental strategy. Same general nutritional program. Same grower. Same attention. And yet... look at how differently they express themselves. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some race ahead. Some take their time. Some become extremely frosty. Some build enormous structures. Some have unusual colours. And Candy Rain? She has become this beautiful, balanced, flower-loaded survivor who is now quietly bulking up all over the place. That's what makes this experiment so enjoyable. The environment gives them the opportunity. Genetics decide what they do with it. 🍬💚 ──────────────────────── 💡 MORE PHOTONS, SAME GIRL ──────────────────────── The lighting environment has also received its upgrade. We've added two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures to the room. When we first brought the extra lighting in, the available PPFD was higher than we wanted for our target. So rather than simply throwing everything at the plants... we reduced the output. We're now around: 💡 ~59% power from the plug with approximately: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy and naturally less depending on plant height and position. That's one of the things I really like about having more lighting capability. We don't have to run everything at maximum. We can have the photons available... and decide how many we actually want to use. And Candy Rain? She's receiving the same upgraded environment as everybody else. Same photons. Same room. Same conditions. And she's responding in her own way. 💡🌿🍬 ──────────────────────── ☀️ THE ARTIFICIAL SUN KEEPS SHINING ──────────────────────── There is something really fascinating about watching twelve plants receive essentially the same artificial sun... and then seeing twelve different interpretations of it. We give them photons. They decide what to do with them. 😂 Candy Rain is clearly putting hers to work. She's building flowers. She's stacking. She's bulking. She's maintaining beautiful foliage. And she's continuing to develop without asking us to reinvent the entire grow around her. That's exactly the kind of relationship I like with a plant. Provide. Observe. Adjust when necessary. And let the plant do the rest. 🌱☀️💚 ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION – A LITTLE MORE FUEL ──────────────────────── The nutrition has also been adjusted together with the rest of the room. Terra Bloom has moved from: 🌱 2.2 ml/L → 2.3 ml/L while the rest of the flowering program remains: 🌱 Terra Bloom – 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment as required That small increase has brought the solution strength up slightly. Current readings are around: ⚗️ pH – ~6.02 ⚡ EC – ~2.14 mS/cm And Candy Rain is responding beautifully. Again... nothing special just for her. No secret recipe. No different room. No special treatment. Same nutritional strategy as the rest of the girls. And she's taking it... and building. 🍬🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 11 – CURRENT CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room is currently sitting around: 🌸 Flowering: Week 11 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 Relative humidity: ~61% ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💦 Nutrient solution temperature: ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h Same room. Same environment. Same upgraded lighting. Same nutritional adjustment. Same overall strategy. And Candy Rain is continuing to show us her own interpretation. 🍬💚 ──────────────────────── 🌸 SHE'S BULKING NOW ──────────────────────── This is the part I'm really enjoying. We're moving beyond: "She's flowering." We're now seeing: "She's building flowers." And that's a different feeling. The flowers are gaining volume. The structures are becoming more substantial. The stacking is becoming more obvious. And there are so many of them. This is where the plant starts becoming visually rewarding in a completely different way. Earlier, we were watching for flower formation. Now we're watching what those flowers become. And Candy Rain is giving us plenty to watch. 🌸🔥 ──────────────────────── 🍬 THE GLAMOROUS SURVIVOR HAS EVOLVED ──────────────────────── Maybe "Glamorous Survivor" isn't quite enough anymore. 😂 Because now she's becoming: ✨ The Glamorous Survivor Who Came to Bulk. 😂🍬🌸 She survived. She established herself. She became beautiful. She entered flowering. She developed her structure. She stacked. And now... she's bulking. There's something very satisfying about seeing that progression. Especially because we never really knew what this girl was going to become when the adventure started. She was simply the one that remained. And now she's one of the plants I genuinely look forward to checking every week. That's a pretty good evolution. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE CAMERA IS GOING TO HAVE FUN ──────────────────────── With the way the flowers are developing now, I already know the camera is going to have plenty of work. Wide shots will show the overall structure. Closer shots will show the stacking. And macro? 😂 Macro is going to become dangerous again. Because those warmer pistils. Those developing trichomes. Those flower structures. That frost. The textures. All of it deserves a closer look. Candy Rain is becoming one of those plants where every step closer reveals something else. And I love that. ──────────────────────── 💚 NO NEED TO FORCE HER ──────────────────────── One thing hasn't changed. I'm still not trying to make her into something she's not. She's healthy. She's growing. She's flowering. She's stacking. She's bulking. She's maintaining beautiful colour. She's developing exactly as we'd like to see. So... why interfere unnecessarily? At this stage, sometimes the best thing a grower can do is simply keep the environment stable and let the plant finish expressing itself. We've already done the work needed to establish the structure. Now? Let her shine. Let her build. Let her show us what she's capable of. 🍬💚✨ ──────────────────────── 👑 SHE DOESN'T NEED THE CROWN ──────────────────────── And that's another thing I love about Candy Rain. She's not trying to win anything. She doesn't seem interested in competing with the other girls. She's just doing her own thing. Some of the girls are fighting for attention. Some are absolutely screaming: "LOOK AT ME!" 😂 Candy Rain? She's standing there with her beautiful flowers and warmer pistils like: "I'm good." 😂🍬 And honestly... that's enough. She doesn't need the crown. She just needs her spotlight. And this week... she's getting it. ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW? ──────────────────────── At this point, my attention is going toward: 🌸 How much more will the flowers bulk? 🌿 How much more will the stacking develop? ❄️ How much more resin will appear? 🌼 How will those warmer pistil colours evolve? 💚 How will the foliage continue to look as the plant matures? And most importantly... how far will this beautiful survivor take her story? We're still not finished. There are still chapters left. So I'm simply watching. And enjoying. 🍬💚 ──────────────────────── ✨ LET HER SHINE ──────────────────────── So... Week 11. Candy Rain Auto. Our other solo survivor. And she's looking fantastic. She's stacking. She's bulking. She's developing flowers everywhere. She's building beautiful structure. She's becoming increasingly frosty. She's maintaining those gorgeous deep greens. And those slightly warmer, yellowish pistils are giving her a character all of her own. She's not trying to be another plant. She's not trying to match another phenotype. She's simply being Candy Rain. And honestly? I love it. 🍬💚✨ So let's make her shine. Let's give this girl the spotlight. Let's appreciate what she's building. And let's see how much more she has left to show us. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── Another week. Another chapter. And another reminder that sometimes the most unexpected plants become some of the most enjoyable ones to follow. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us a place to document these journeys, share experiences and learn together. Thank you to Zamnesia for the genetics behind our beautiful Candy Rain survivor. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the garden. Thank you to Future of Grow for providing the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and helping us expand the lighting capability of the room. 💡💚 Thank you to LumiFlora for helping bring additional light into the deeper parts of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who stops by to see what the girls are doing this week. It genuinely means a lot. And Candy Rain? Our solo survivor is still here. Still beautiful. Still growing. Still stacking. Still bulking. Still shining. And now... looking more and more like a girl who has decided she's going to make every flower count. 🍬🌸✨ She started this adventure simply because she was the one who remained. Now she's become one of the girls I genuinely enjoy watching every single week. The Glamorous Survivor. The Solo Survivor. The Flower-Loaded Survivor. And this week... the Bulking Survivor. 😂🍬💚 Let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep photographing. And let's let this beautiful girl continue doing what she does best. Growing in her own rhythm. Building in her own way. And shining without ever needing to ask for the spotlight. Because this week... the spotlight belongs to Candy Rain. 🍬✨💚👑 Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 🌱💚🍬

Update 14 days after going into soil Looking healthy but abit slower than expected but my first time doing autos so not to sure🤔 i started them on small amount of nutrients today let's see how they do🤞 lights set to 25 percent power at 24" above canopy

Bon excès de nutriments dans la plante. obliger de faire un gros rinçage, plusieurs avis de cultivateurs mon conseiller de faire cela meilleur moyen pour que la plante repart sur une bonne base, je rajouterai une dose d'enzyme pour nettoyer correctement la base puis croisons les doigts pour qu'il se passe aucun problème par la suite.

🌸 Week 15 from Seed / Week 4 Flower – The Art of Defoliation 🌿 Welcome back to the journey of The White OG by Seedsman Seeds. This week marks a powerful turning point — the mid-flower defoliation — a sacred act of giving space, light, and breath to a girl who’s ready to bloom big. She’s thriving beautifully under the Future of Grow Black Series 600W system, and still running strong on the Aptus Clean Program: • Regulator • System Clean • RO Water Conditioner • All-in-One Liquid The mix lands with a pH of 5.97, an EC of 1.20, and water temp at 18.2°C — right on point. 🌬️ This week’s star event? A serious defoliation. We removed large fan leaves that were shading critical bud sites, allowing light to pour in and airflow to circulate. This isn’t just pruning — it’s breathing room. It’s strategy. It’s sculpting the future. She’s expressing herself now some funky leaf formations, even buds forming in the leaf base itself, a unique phenotype with personality. This is what makes each grow magical. Why defoliation now? • Week 4 is the sweet spot: flowers are forming, stretch is slowing, and now’s the time to open up the canopy without stressing her too much. • It increases light penetration and reduces risk of mold or pests by improving airflow. • It directs energy to the buds, not the blocked, lower leaves. And now she stands proud in her scrog net, breathing deep, stretching wide. She’s no longer hiding. She’s becoming. ⸻ Huge thanks as always to the amazing GrowDiaries community, to Seedsman, to Aptus Holland, to the Future of Grow team, To TrolMaster and to all of you: the followers, supporters, growers, learners, lovers, and even the haters — we grow together 🌱 💚 Come join the journey over on Instagram and YouTube — where the Dognabis Cup is blooming into something beautiful too. See you in the next chapter, my dear friends. Let’s grow. As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life 🙏
 With true love comes happiness 💚🙏 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so 💚

 Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only 💚Growers Love To you All and remember to keep that smile big and alive 💚

Vamos familia, actualizamos la segunda semana de floración de estas Lemon Mandarin de FastBuds. La temperatura que estuvo entre los 24-26 grados y humedad dentro de los rangos correctos. En cuanto a las plantas las veo verde sano, estiraron bien y ensancharon bastante también. Se nota que los nutrientes de la marca Agrobeta cubre todas las necesidades de cada ejemplar. Las flores empezaron a formarse, por el momento todo correcto, os dejé también alguna novedad y un cambio en la sala, agradecer al equipo de Mars hydro por el nuevo TSW2000. (los últimos 5 años cultive solo con los leds de esta marca)los cuales probé, TS600, TS1000, TS3000, TSL2000. Llevaba 10 años trabajando en sodio y fue un salto de gigantes cambiar a los Leds, jamás me arrepentiré de ese cambio. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

U can see everything on pictures 💪 Ready for Harvest !!!! 💪

8/1 Took another video but didn't upload either videos when I was in town. I'll have to upload later. I have a lot going on and I need to consult my diary more often. The Temps dramatically changed. I watered yesterday just a few that were light but then it poured all night. This morning things looked SUBSTANTIALLY better. I think as long as I can get some sunlight the next few days things will be alright. That streak of weather in the 100s really did a number on me and my plants. Everytime I go they seem to be looking better so I hope that they bounce back and I don't lose anything after all this work. Plants seem "strong" though. They appear very healthy. This just seems like a mistake I made that was substantially worsened by severe thunder storms we weren't supposed to get. If they don't come back before rain I may move the plants that haven't recovered yet inside the barn for the night. It really depends. I want them to dry out. I'm thinking of going and putting a fan in the cage on the smart pots. I just need to keep an eye on them. UPDATE: I was worriedly watching my plants from the cams and got a message from my father saying my plants were "REALLY DROOPY." I got there and noticed they were WAY worse then earlier and it was sunny and 70's. I got my dude on the phone and sent him several pictures. Luckily I had a second opinion also from my father. A 3cu ft bag of 707 is 22 gallons. These pots were light like that. They just have a seven foot plant in them lol. I'm so happy. I was planning on bringing them Inside tonight in case of ANY rain, luckily I was able to ascertain THE REAL problem, consult my diary and askother growers. Things are looking good. I'm so happy I'm not overwatered. 8/2 Thank the Lord! And my father for his constant vigilance and my commercial buddy for always being there for me. I went over this morning and everything is back up. Plants definitely got stressed though. I think I was OVER and UNDER watering during those days where it was 100 degrees. It'd 68 today. I say this because as soon as I watered the plants they started picking right back up. Luckily I had a dry bag of 707 to pick up and compare with my 20 gallon grow bags and had my father check the weight as well. He's a forester and told me the weight was about tge same. I gave the big blue cheese in the back closer to 2 gallons until I saw some water coming out the bottom. The reason I think I may have overwatered is that the water evaporated as i had watered during the day or at night but not the 10% that they needed. I didn't QUITEgive them all their 10% last time more like I split the difference and did a gallon amd half. Some did get two though. I noticed some light yellowing going up one of the plants that I've watered the most. These plants are transitioning fast to flower. I think I've got the watering schedule down better and that's "don't water them on a schedule". I'll have to individually take note of the plants. Also on that plant and a few others I see minor nute deficiencies so as soon as I can feed I'm going too. I'm going to show my buddy all my info and ask his advice before i take the next step though. I can't believe they made it through this. Talk about anxiety. Wow. UPDATE: Talked to my commercial buddy. He advised to pick off any of the dead leaves, (which I mostly already have there weren't many) and to wait until next water to feed. He broke it all down in a way i could understand. Then he broke the feeding down further for me so I now know where to start. He did say he thinks my only problem this year will be, "finding a place to store it" lol. I thought he was joking but he went out back and brought out five gallon buckets with screw top lids lol. This back and forth dialogue (with a professional) is seriously lowering my anxiety and giving me confidence that im doing the right thing. Hes never led my wrong and hes always been there. So has my dad. He said to take the old man out for coffee because he saved my ass! I opted for the bottle of whiskey instead. I'll be checking them later. I'm waiting to feed until next watering and I'm waiting to apply BT. I don't want to do anything to a plant that has been that stressed. I'm giving them a few days to chill. Then the twenties will get a quart of grow big, big bloom and calmag and I'll convert that measure to the same amount for the 30's, and 50's. I'm not sure EXACTLY how big that tote is but I think it's closet to 30 than to 40. So I've got a solid plan for the week. I think what I'll be looking to do next is get my supports up. The wind has been crazy but these plants (even when stressed) seemed super strong! Still no fungal stuff knock on wood. UPDATE: Had to take the car to the mechanic and snag my wheeler to make it home. I sefoliated quite a few bog yellow fan leaves and some smaller leaves down low. Plants went through some stress thats for sure. I HAD to leave my phone with the wife as she had a telehealth appointment so I couldn't take pictures. I wish I could've because things are looking great. I can't wait until things dry out a bit and I can feed! I'm STILL in awe of how my plants look RIGHT NOW and how the looked yesterday. Another buddy said If I didn't see it (and I didnt know you) I wouldn't have believed it was even the same garden! I'll check AGAIN later if my car is ready. I'm anxious to feed and get my supports up. Plants are STRONG though. 8/3 Plants looked great this morning. I did notice what looked like nute deficiencies on the plants I've watered most. After speaking with a few local growers I decided to water. I watered everything a gallon. The containers got more. The 10 got less. Then i mixed up a feeding solution of 1 tsp grow big 2 big bloom and .5 calmag and fed the 20s approx 1.5 pints. A little less for the 10 and a little more for the bigger pots. I'm going to go back over and if I see no negative effects from earlier I'll use the rest of the solution. I'm hoping this was the right decision. It hasn't been enough time but the bags were light. Not SUPER light but last time I waited it didn't work out well for me. Two local growers have told me theyve been watering daily and they have plants in raised beds and right in the ground. I want my watering to be in the morning anyway. Hopefully this works out. I'll update. UPDATE: Went back over and everything was standing up nice. They loved that water and the small dose of nures hasn't burned them so ill be able to use more next time. I used a Gatorade bottle thats 1.25 pints amd went from there. A total of two gallons was used on the garden. Things look amazing. Things are changing on the daily. I'm losing some leaves now. Well they aren't dropping off but I'm plucking them before they yet that far. I need to water in larger volumes I think. Plants are drying out too quick. Others are saying they are watering much more often as well. It really hasn't been raining and these plants are huge. I have lush green leaves but this transition and the added watering I think has leeched a lot of the nutrients from the soil. Since I have the fox farm that's what I'll be using. I still have a couple leaves that are destroyed by a fourkined plant bug. It's very identifiable so theres another I need to find. Also seeing chunks missing from leaves. I need to up my ipm game. I don't want to do more than one thing at a time though so I know what happened if anything goes wrong. Since i did the nutes today the spraying of BT or captain Jack's I'd going to have to wait. Despite losing these old fan leaves my plants are dense. Defoliating really helped with airflow. I also noticed some chlorosis on a few leaves. That's why I'm going to start doing the 10% minimum. I'm waiting until they are real dry then I'll give everyone (but big blue) their 10%. I got run off from big blue just from like a gallon amd a half today. I hope my 2 minute video uploaded. It says it dis but u bet it didn't. I'm trying again and I'm at 12%. Let's see if my patience lasts. Looks like it doesn't want to upload 8/4 Thunderstorms and heavy rain all night. It's supposed to rain steadily all day. Plants werent drooped or blown around looking or anything after this storm and I only have minimal supports up. I defoliated anything that needed it. Just a few yellow leaves on the bottom interior. More like nitrogen deficiency. I am watering to frequently though. Im noticing some chlorosis (minor) on old far leaves. Could just be that the soil is getting depleted but "if the brown surrounds your plant is drowned" and I noticed a few leaves like that. Just a couple bit i know what to look for. I hate to say it but i think ive almost got things dialed in for this grow. I will need to put up further supports. These are some STRONG plants. I shook them all off today. The seemed to love the nutes. Plants looked way better this morning than I was expecting. I need to up my watering volume to 10% everytime. I DID fine more pillar damage when defoliating and a four lined plant bug mark on the purple punch in the ten. 8/5 It's not raining right now but it Rained all day and night. Plants really seemed to likecthise nutes. I'll up it to a quart next feed. I defoliated what needed it. Found my FIRST totally yellow leaf of the season. Big old interior leaf i must've missed earlier. Smell has greatly increased. Seeing that these plants seem to have no ill effect from all this water I feel more confident about my ability to fully water them their 10%. Especially since they are massive plants. I have one daln near 8ft and it's damn near as wide. Real good airflow. I think this is gonna be my year. I certainly hope so. I need to get rid of that fourlined plant big but more importantly I need to deal with pillars proactively so next nice night I'm going to treat with bt. Super proud of myself so far. 8/6 Didn't rain much yesterday. In fact I stepped out my door and the sun was fully visible and bright while rain poured down around me. It wad a cool experience but the plants dodnt get much for water. I checked the weight this morning (heavy) and shook off the plants and did my normal morning inspection. I news to remove a pallet so I have more room. Plants are really trying to flower. Next week I'm gonna yet them with a stronger dose of nutes. Last year this was about the time I lost my crop. Knock on wood but this is the healthiest crop I've ever had. I MAY apply BT tonight. Haven't decided yet. I'll keep the diary updated. UPDATE: Went over to check the plants that were WET and HEAVY this MORNING because of the windstorm. If dried the bags out completely. Everything but the 10 was drooping right over like before. Good thing I've got some pretty good intuition. I took two videos. I gave everything their 10% 2 gallons each and for each container plant. Plants were back up by the time I was done adding supports. 8/7 Sunny this morning. Plants looked good. Had to defoliate some dead leaves. I can't believe those grow bags dried out so fast yesterday! Its just the wind was so strong! Plants were right sideways! They got some syrong roots thats for sure. One of them (my canary) seemed light this morning! But we are getting an inch and a half of rain starting tonight into tomorrow so im not watering ANYTHING. I'm not sure what I'm going to do IF anything. I added to my supports. I COULD put EVERYTHING in the barn where we put heavy equipment. I'll probably at least bring a couple inside in case something horrible happens. Things arecreally doing good. Flowering up nice. Found a cicada on one yesterday. First time I've ever seen one. I'll update with what I decide to do. UPDATE. My canary seems a little light and is losing lots more leaves im not sure if it's because of the transition to flower but I assume that has something to do with it. Plants still have MORE than enough leaves. Found a couple pillars and killed them. Took a video. I have one blueberry cheese that I hope doesn't have a fungal infection as it's losing more leaves. But it takes more water and is greener and fuller up top. I think I'm just worried because of last year. I've done what I can gor the storm so let's see what happens if I NOTICE it get too bad I can bring some indoors.

Defoliated a bit more. Trimmed the nuts

I have to dry the buds in the dark at 20 degrees in 50% humidity 💯
