Grown out this week and got them ready for the early flower growth. Trimmed heavy and wired all branches away from each other. LST in full effect. Hoping it’s not too much trauma for them.. they proved me wrong. Bounced back with vigor and bright excitement! Eager to see these buds start forming 👀

It has been about a year since my last diary had to take some time off. My wife had cancer. We had to take care of that now I'm back. Maybe I can get a diary or 2 .

Decided to tie these down rather than the plan to totally fill the scrog net. Reason is i plan on growing some new genetics as I have grown this strain about 6-7 times, as good as it is it’s time for a change. Planning on running a symbiotic genetics cut of mimosa and some strains from Arctic Genetics

Watering less at a time but more often now. Spent some time twisting the main stem to assist in bending her over. Secured down between the first and second node of 3 currently. Stem is very rigid so I moved some soil around the base to relieve some stress on the base. LST seems to be doing great since I was forced to move the tie downs from the main stem to the fan leaves. Watering with Real Growers Recharge on 5/2/22.

More like HST instead of LST. This week was all about low stress training or lst. But as it was for the very first time I would say it was more of a high stress trainig (for me of course). First ties I started already the previous week but this week was hard tie downs on pretty much every branch. Since I messed up the first week and put my lights on almost max power the plants didnt strech out for light and are pretty low and bushy. Thats why the space is really tight and lst is just the thing to do. I used a metal string since I think its better because I can adjust it more and all tension is not on the string. For the past 2 weeks or so I noticed some weird spots on one leaf. This week it went on 3 more leafs and on one more plant. After some research I found out thats a serious Calcium defficiency. Since I’m not from US I didn’t have the same things as in videos I watched. So I didnt get the regular cal mag. But instead some from local store and I must say it was bad choice. Way too less calcium. Ordered a proper one and hopefully it will come in the next fee days. Another interesting thing happened. At the beginning I was cinsidering toping. But after researching more decided no to go with it on the first grow. As the lack of calcium appeared I went full blast with feeding. And it appears thats I was underfeeding, since I thought that my coco was too wet. Guess what happened when I went from once in 3days to twice per day. Thats right. The growth was massive ! One of the metal strings somehow got stuck in the plant and when this acceleration happened it simply snaped itself of 😳 I must say I was a bit sad at the moment, but then I figured it’s some form of self-toping. Not that I wanted it to happen on my strongest plant. But will see what will happen out of it. Alltogether this was a nice week full of wide strech and a lot of new knowledge!

Welcome to my Damn Sour Diary sponsored by Green House Seeds. DAYS 71-75 Pre Flower Days 2-6 Turning out to be a cracking little plant. Has a lovely uniformed structure that I'm very pleased with. Very healthy lush growth. Has throw up a leaf with cal def. So applied a high dose of Cal powder feed, "deeper details in Diet". She's taken to her LST great. Haven't had to adjust. She's making some lovely tight colas. Can't wait till pre is over so I can get in there and open her up. Haven't touched her defol wise, as you shouldn't while in Pre Flower. All the hard graft was done during her prolonged veg. She has just 3 top nodes. And was pult to make her fill out, and I think I've saved this from what it could of been, after I messed around with her. She's a very reliant Pheno as is all GHS gentics. Diet: Short flowering powder is currently been used, "From GHF". 5-550ppm. Also, I noticed a cal def on 2 leafs, "can be seen from 2nd last pic from above at the back" . So, gave her a dose of Calcium Powder from GHF. 270ppm 160ppm/110ppm ambient tap. Also she's been introduced to Terra Powers Bud Starter Fortuna, adds like 50-70ppm to water. PH - Bloom from Advanced Hydroponics is used to level it out to the feed level. I don't adjust my tap, seems to pick up the PH of what it's coming behind so not needed. Also Fire Yields will be used from TP enzyme line along with a few others from their collection. "Bud/Resin/Terp enhancers. Not many. I'll chose 1 of each and make that my primary Enhancer in its class. The days of juggling 14nutes are beyond over. Also, I'll be getting Green Sensation from Plagron with a few others. And whatever can be used in this grow will be used. So upon picking out what I like from there. Next wk, I'll be adding the 25:30 PK BOOSTER from GHF also. Rasing the ppm by another 150ppm to start off with .15G/L. As is the Short Flowering .45grams/L for an extra 450ppm added to your ambient tap ppm No. LST Was finally applied more to this fine lady. I opened her up some. I nearly snapped of the biggest of the nodes. She broke half way deep inearly taking the end of the top of the stem. I tied the node to the stem, securing it in place. I checked on day 77 and she seems to be pushing through it. Wonder what impact it'll have on the bud making process for that side of the plant. I'll go back after pre and open her up with hard defol(s) 15-20% 2-3x over the space of a week. Lights SP 3000 was used for most of this grow. And the IR/UV45 has made for such a quick flip. 5 days is all it took for her to be fully showing pre flower. I started seen a full flip within 3 days. Big thanks to my sponsors from MarsHydro, Green House Seeds & Terra Power Nutrients. Much appreciated for all those who viewed, liked &/R commented. Look forward to seeing your own grows. Either way, thanks for stopping by. COUPONS Mars-Hydro (all sites) "ggs" 3% Discount Zamneisa "GROWITGD" 20% Discount.

Week 3 Veg - Thus far running accordingly. No signs of stress or deficiencies. Introduced a Co2 bag (Exhale 265) to run into early flowering. *End of week recap* (08/27) User error during LST for both - Gave heavy nutes to assist on the rebound - Minor chance of stunting Besides the LST error - Running smoothly - Light flower will begin in 2 weeks.

Chop Day! After recovering, i noticed she had the leaves closest to the fan drying up. I think since she lost most of her leaves, it was too windy and she got windburned. Considering her over all bad shape i decided to go for an earlyer chop then usual, but all trichomes seem to be milky, with just a few brown ones. Over all, this grow was filled with problems and fuckups. Many things were learned :) May the next one be better!

2018-04-10 Day 1 I gave the girls water and nutrients yesterday so nothing to drink today. Turned them 90 degrees today, to give my girls as much lightexposure as possible. The flowers get bigger and bigger for each day, Overall the ladies look really good, the colors are very nice, they look healthy. Somehow the photos of nr1 got lost, very strange, but great pics of nr2. Also added videos of them both. Power Plant XL nr 1 is 67 cm Power Plant XL nr 2 is 68 cm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Strain information Genetics for the famous Power Plant were captured by a group of Dutch growers on a trip to South Africa, back in the 90’s. They managed to breed a strain that was soon a popular choice in coffee shops of the Netherlands, most likely due to the soaring and intense Sativa high. Zambeza Seeds thought that the productiveness of Power Plant should never be forgotten and created an updated version, to bring the legend back to live. Power Plant XL yields up to 600-750g/m² in a flowering period of approximately 55 days! The efficiency and productiveness of Power Plant XL fears no comparison with many recently bred cannabis strains. Indoor heights of 80-110cm make this sativa-dominant variety relatively easy to grow, but outdoor growers need to be aware of the power that is being released under the sun. Outdoor plants can easily reach heights of 150-200cm, and yields of 500-600g per plant. The taste of Power Plant XL can be described as a delightful blend of sweet and sour flavours, with subtle hints of pine tree in the background. Smokers who appreciate a very strong and uplifting Sativa high will be more than satisfied with the effects. One will experience feelings of euphoria that are definitely intense and uplifting, typical for a South African Sativa like this. The up-high can also evolve into being more relaxed, especially when larger quantities are being consumed. Some people suspect Power Plant to be grown in large commercial operations around the world. It doesn’t really matter if these assumptions are the truth or myths, but Zambeza’s breeders are very proud to bring this highly productive legend back to live. The updated version of it, Power Plant XL, is the most efficient Dutch "bud factory" money can buy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Gromie's all going good, continue H.S.T training, nice flat canopy. Also started some new clones, experimenting took 2 & 3 branch cuttings instead of single stem, so first topping will give 4 & 6 branches. Veg tent set up. Daisy chained recirculating hydro (4) at back & up to 6 DWC pots in front. Lined pots with insulated mylar, has reduced temps around 5°c. Making D.I.Y. DWC system for .
