2024-07-20 I'm focusing solely on the Indoor Girl in this report. The Outdoor Girl will receive a separate update once she shows more signs of flowering. This week's photos showcase the Indoor Girl's journey from start to finish, and she's been an absolute joy to grow - truly an easy-going plant. I'm fascinated by her structure, which boasts a perfect ratio of leaves to buds. Remarkably, I never had to remove a single leaf to improve light exposure. I only topped her twice to open up the canopy. She grew vigorously and effortlessly, requiring just some nutrients and top dressing to keep her happy during the transition to flowering. Her daily water intake was consistently around 1 liter minimum, with only four feedings throughout the entire growth cycle. The result is a plant crusted with trichomes - glittery and gluey, perfect for extraction. Harvesting was a breeze due to the ideal leaf-to-bud ratio. I've kept her remains and continue to water and feed her in an attempt to revegetate. Meanwhile, her outdoor sister is thriving in a hot and sunny environment. I adore her aroma profile, which features only the most pleasant terpenes. The scent is reminiscent of various citrus fruits - pink grapefruit, orange, mandarin, and tangerine - with a creamy touch that's reminiscent of a delicious dessert. There are also floral notes of lavender. I'll continue documenting the Outdoor Girl's progress here. I'm certain I'll grow this strain again, as it has proven to be stable, well-composed, superbly structured, and delicious. Well done, Seedsman!

this week was a lil challenging, had to get out of LST due to the fact that I broke a branch and that just tripped me off and I took off all my ties , apart from that i started giving her bloom products because I noticed a few hairs. I started applying tiresias mist to one of my branches so I can get pollen sacks to produce my own fem seeds, as I plan on crossing my fortune cookies autoflower with my ak48 autoflower and creating a new strain called "DRAKO" AUTOFLOWER well till next update . O.G. Bang Bang !! out.....

Since last week, the bush has continued to grow nicely again. A few days ago, I added about 10g of Bio Grow because I noticed slight deficiencies. After mixing this into the soil with Bio Enhancer, it looked healthier again in the following days. Now it has another 1-2 weeks of growth, and then the good plant will start flowering!

Die Lemon Skunk steht nun in Blütewoche 7 und präsentiert sich von ihrer besten Seite. Die Buds sind massiv, fest und vollständig mit Trichomen überzogen. Das Harz glänzt unter dem Licht, und das Aroma ist intensiv zitronig mit einer erdigen Basis – typisch für die Genetik. Die Trichome zeigen ein perfektes Reifestadium: etwa 70 % milchig, erste bernsteinfarbene Spitzen. Damit beginnt langsam die finale Reifephase, in der Aroma und Wirkstoffgehalt ihren Höhepunkt erreichen. Das Semi-Hydro-System läuft stabil weiter. Die Pumpe hält die Nährlösung aktiv, was für konstante Sauerstoffversorgung sorgt. Die Pflanzen reagieren vital, und die Wurzeln arbeiten sichtbar effizient. Die Düngung liegt aktuell bei 8 ml/l Canna Coco A + B, was optimal aufgenommen wird. Kein Überdüngungszeichen, keine Mängel – die Blätter beginnen langsam, die gespeicherten Nährstoffe zu mobilisieren, was ein gutes Zeichen für den kommenden Spülvorgang ist. Die Struktur bleibt offen, die Luftzirkulation ist stark, und die Buds profitieren von optimalem Licht. Das Verhältnis zwischen Haupt- und Seitentrieben ist ausgeglichen, was zu einer gleichmäßigen Blütenentwicklung über die gesamte Pflanze führt. Insgesamt zeigt sich die Lemon Skunk in absoluter Bestform: kompakte Buds, starker Duft, hohe Harzproduktion und stabile Semi-Hydro-Performance. Die letzten Wochen versprechen dichte, aromatische Blüten – ein klarer Hinweis, dass die Ernte langsam näher rückt.

*Week 4 - Cream Caramel* Explosive growth in the 50L bed! 🌿 Top Roots is now fully integrated, turbocharging root development. This week's highlight: strategic training! One plant got apical pruning (topped) to boost lateral branching, while another is under gentle LST – bending stems for a perfectly even canopy. Sunlight penetration is maximized, and girls are loving their organic living soil setup! #CreamCaramel #OutdoorGrow #LST #Topping #TopRoots #LivingSoil #Week4 #GrowDiaries *Semana 4 - Cream Caramel* ¡Crecimiento explosivo en la cama de 50L! 🌿 Top Roots ya está integrado, potenciando el desarrollo radicular. Lo destacado: ¡entrenamiento estratégico! A un ejemplar le hice poda apical (topping) para estimular ramas laterales, y otro está con LST suave – doblando tallos para una copa uniforme. ¡Máxima penetración de luz y las chicas aman su sustrato orgánico! #CreamCaramel #CultivoExterior #LST #PodaApical #TopRoots #LivingSoil #Semana4 #GrowDiaries

En esta sexta semana, el cultivo ha entrado en la ventana crítica de maduración bioquímica. Una vez finalizada la consolidación estructural, la planta ha redirigido el flujo de carbono hacia la ruta del ácido mevalónico y la ruta MEP/DOXP, optimizando la síntesis de precursores de cannabinoides y terpenos en los tricomas glandulares capitados-pedunculados. 2. Elicitación y Priming Inmunológico (Evento Crítico) Se ejecutó la tercera y última aplicación de Ácido Salicílico (AS) a una concentración de 100 ppm mediante fertirriego radicular (riego manual único). * Mecanismo de Acción: La aplicación radicular de AS actúa como una señal exógena que mimetiza un ataque de patógenos biotróficos, activando la cascada de señalización de la Resistencia Sistémica Adquirida (SAR). * Respuesta Fisiológica: Esta señalización induce la expresión de genes relacionados con la patogénesis (Proteínas PR) y, colateralmente, sobreestimula la producción de metabolitos secundarios como mecanismo de defensa abiótico. * Objetivo: Maximizar el contenido de resina y compuestos volátiles antes de la fase de lavado, aprovechando el "priming" para fortalecer la pared celular y la densidad de los exudados glandulares. 3. Dinámica Nutricional y Balance Iónico Con la transición hacia la madurez, el manejo de la solución nutritiva se ha ajustado para prevenir antagonismos: * Balance P-K: Se mantiene la intensidad en el aporte de potasio (K^+) para soportar el transporte de fotosintatos (sucrosa) desde las hojas fuente hacia las flores (sumideros). * Control de EC y Dry-backs: Se aplican estrategias de Crop Steering con secados controlados del sustrato de coco para aumentar la presión osmótica, lo cual, en sinergia con la elicitación, favorece el estrés generativo. * Monitoreo: El lixiviado se mantiene bajo vigilancia estrecha para evitar la acumulación de sulfatos y asegurar que el balance entre cationes 4. Gestión Climática y VPD * VPD Óptimo: Se ha mantenido un rango de 1.2 a 1.5 kPa. Este diferencial de presión de vapor permite una transpiración eficiente, asegurando que el flujo masal de Calcio llegue hasta los cálices superiores, evitando necrosis apicales internas. * Temperatura del Agua: El control a 21°C en el tanque de solución madre ha sido fundamental para mantener niveles óptimos de oxígeno disuelto y prevenir el estrés térmico radicular, factor que podría interferir con la señalización de la ruta SAR activada por el AS. 5. Estado Fenológico Visual La morfología observada en los ejemplares muestra una senescencia controlada de estigmas (comenzando la oxidación en un 15-20%) y una arquitectura de cogollo "espigada" pero densa, característica de una alta eficiencia fotosintética y una correcta gestión del DLI (Daily Light Integral). La cobertura de tricomas es profusa, con una turbidez que indica el inicio de la degradación de precursores hacia formas ácidas de fitocannabinoides.

Hello Growmies, We’re at week 15, and our Epic Buzz is showing some serious gains. The plant has been swelling so much that it's barely managing to hold itself up. An inspection reveals a coat of trichomes adorning the surface, with calyxes continuing to expand noticeably. It's as if each day brings a new level of plumpness to the buds, pushing the boundaries of what seemed possible just a week ago. From the images, we can observe the heavy load the stems are carrying. The top colas are thriving with density, their surfaces a landscape of rich, sticky trichomes, the kind that promise potency and depth. While the overall structure of the plant leans heavily, a testament to the weight it bears, there's an elegance to this droop, speaking to the fullness it's achieving. In terms of care, there's a significant change in our approach – no more PK 13/14. We've seen the best of what it can do, and now it's time to let pure, reverse osmosis water do the talking. This shift will ensure that we're not overloading the plant with nutrients and will help us to start the flushing process gently, easing into the final stages of flowering. The result of this can be seen in the leaves that are starting to yellow, a natural progression indicating that the plant is consuming the last of its nutrient reserves. Meanwhile, the roots, those unseen heroes, continue to draw up the necessary sustenance, fuelling this impressive final push. We’re now on the precipice of full maturity, where each day counts double. I'm keeping a close eye, ensuring the reservoir stays topped up every few days to keep her hydrated without causing undue stress. As we approach harvest, it's a balancing act of watchfulness and patience. The once-dominant aroma now fills the space with a subtler, sweeter scent – a prelude to the bounty that awaits. I’ll keep tweaking the environment, making sure our lady finishes strong. Stay lifted, Salokin.

This plant has a solid stench of pure ripe lemons. So much aroma and color in every bud, purples, to dark green, to lime green, to solid frost. This one definitely a fun strain to watch grow and tend too for the last few months. She’s definitely a hungry girl, seemed to be the only strain out of the three that accepted and thrived with full feed nutrients. Would definitely recommend this Strain to someone For a nice uplifting day smoke, also seems to do me good for some pain and stress relief.

99 Days but the Bitch aint done. Mr. Pipi likes his new Camera. Pictures gettin better. Plant also is gettin gooder. Strawberry Flavours definetly inda building. Mr. Pipi does not flip the plant off, its just for size comparison side-by-side. No Plants were harmed (not yet) and no Pipi was used during this documentation. Wild-Strawberry Update: Mr. Pipi achieved to convince 2 friends to agree that they smell wild strawberries . yippeeee

IVE MADE MORE VIDEOS BUT THEY JUST DON'T SEEM TO UPLOAD AND IT'S FAR TO SLOW TO DO IT FROM HOME 6/27 Made last week a five day week to get back on track. It's still overcast and rainy. It's not raining a lot bit it's consistent. Despite the weather the plants are doing phenomenal. I'll update later. It's 1pm. It's been raining consistently since 11. Just a sprinkle but it's steady. I'm going to begun uploading the weeks weather on my diary. I may start a new diary for the plants I light depped as they are flowering pretty good. Rain stopped and it's just overcast for now. I looked at some videos and did a comparison of videos one week ago and videos today and HOLY SHIT! WHAT A DIFFERENCE. Especially the light depped 10th planet. Well everything but that was the most significant difference. I'm astonished at the health and growth despite the crummy weather. Continued to rain. Just got harder. Plants are taking it but it's flooding underneath the pallets a little but it will be fine. The light dep however has me concerned. The 10th planet is looking spectacular. The bigger purple punch I'd looking good too. The smaller one though looks to have a pollen sack coming off one of the branches. Considering its not on the otherside I assume it's not just a swollen calyx. I don't mind chucking it especially if that means I don't hurt my other girls so I want to make sure. I sent videos to a few other growers and I'll add a question on here. Those three plants have been isolated from the rest for a few days due to rain. I have the suspect isolated alone until I can confirm. It sucks cause the light Depp was going good and the6ve all got little flowers. 6/28 Well that fucking sucks. ALL THREE plants I tried to light depp hermed on me. I could see male flowers. Luckily I had been keeping a really good eye on them and it was preflowers mostly. At least I caught it. One or two stamines on each plant. Would've been really easy to miss. Only one had STARTED to elongate into a stem so I think I caught it early enough. Plus since all this rain they've been kept in a different location then my big girls. Glad I did that now. Boy the roots looked good on those plants. I just grabbed the stalk and lifted and it came right out of the pot. I held it there admiring it for a minute. This sucks. At least the real plants are doing good. As far as I know. No male preflowers that's for sure. I've got some feedback from other growers and the videos are a little blurry but I had found a light leak and I'm certain these plants hermed. I know I could've tried to save them but I didn't want to risk it. I compared what I was seeing with Google photos and other websites. Aside from the larger ball with its stem, there were also several little bumps besides developed calyxes that were weaving into little buds. Trust me that I wouldn't cut down my plants if I wasn't 110% sure. I might've been able to "save them" but to me it's just not worth the risk. 6/29 I was second guessing myself pretty hard last night due to some responses I got on my light dep and messages I got from other growets. Made my anxiety horrible but I looked on several video's I'd taken again and I know what I saw. I felt better after that. This was after I researched and waited THREE days until I saw the ball on the stem and the groupings of small nubs under a fresh yellow flower. These plants were flowering good and it sucks to lose them. One MAY have been ok but one was a runt and had all the characteristics of a true hermaphrodite. They were only in 3's and I couldn't risk my harvest for an experiment. Still sucks. Oh well. Sun is starting to come out. Plants seem to be doing fantastic. I have one spot on a leaf that looks like a pillar munched on a leaf so I'll probably get the bt out soon as I have a dry day that I can apply it. I'll have to check the weather. I need to start a nute regiment but the plants aren't telling me they need anything yet. 6/30 I fucked up dates or dodnt do it yesterday or it didnt save right so I'm leaving this blank today is the 1st. 7/1 I have still only watered s couple times and I haven't had to feed. This week I'm going to start nutes. I had some external ersonal situations that have kept me from my plants. I'm hoping to get back on track. I noticed some pillar damage so I'll need to dig out the BT. This morning I saw this giant ground hog by my cage. Hated too but had to get rid of him. Of course some of the blowback landed on the leaves of one of my plants. I tried to clean it as best I could. Better than that fat bastard eating everything in one night. I broke a branch either falling around it or bulling through when I was pissed or I LST it the wrong way and the wind broke it against the tomato cage. Nice big branch too on top. I tried to fix it with duct tape but we'll see. The plants need me to spend sometime with them. I need to clean them up. Apply bt and give them their first feeding. I'll update as I go. They don't seem nutrient deficient by any means but I don't think it would hurt to start the nutes. 7/2 Bags were lighter today and if it wasn't going to rain tonight and tomorrow I'd he watering. Plants look great so soil isn't depleted yet I guess. They're growing rather rapidly. The branch I broke didnt make it. Had an idea it wouldn't but I had to try. I waited on the BT on account of the rain. I may go back over and change my mind and water with silica or a mild nute solution or maybe apply the BT. Depends what time I get back. I have some work I need to do over there. There's a few that I need to clean up the bottoms on. Pest damage is minor and limited to one or two plants and a leaf or two only. 7/3 More rain. It was supposed to rain this morning too but it didn't. We got .33in yesterday and through last night so I thought that was ok. Looking back on my previous diaries I'm doing things significantly different than before. I had used a lot more nutes earlier on. This morning I mixed two gallons of 2tsp of big bloom and fed it to the 9 plants in smart pots leaving the container plants as they have much more water in them. Looking back at other diaries I previously had, WPM and septoria by this time not to mention a shit ton of other pests I was fighting by this time. Since I poisoned where the cagexwas multiple times and sprayed the cage before it was moved I luckily don't have that problem yet knock on wood. I'm planning to apply BT tonight to deal with the moth larvae if there are any. I'm looking at plants around this area and im seeimg SOME septoria and pm on raspberry bushes and burdock so it is around. I made sure my cage is not by any other vegetation this year and is sitting on asphalt with the bags on raised pallets. Good thing I did or I guarantee they'd be flooded by now. I've been seeing multiple complaints from maine growers online (AND THEY HAVE HEALTHY PLANTS!) saying this is the worst year ever. Maybe they need a dose of fusarium oxysporum to keep them humble. This is maine. If you don't like the weather just wait five minutes. Meanwhile I'll be doing my sun dance hoping for sun. "Hard to grow cannabis with no sunlight" said another grower on my forum.
