July 20: smoke arrived this morning to go with our heat wave. Awesome. Extra watering, misting air, and wetting the sides of the grow bags with hose water to keep things cooler and hydrated. So far so good in the heat.
Did foliar spray of Extreme Blend and potassium silicate.
Also note that for all my grows I use apple cider vinegar for pH adjustment and a Dr Bronners liquid soap as a wetting agent (surfactant).
Euphoria is doing great, but to ensure that it finishes early enough for this latitude (53N) where the UV light gets very weak after mid-August, I’m starting the force flowering tonight. Already starting to flower but I want a strong flower set and as much flower growth under strong sunlight as possible.
Force flowering schedule is 2-3 weeks of in dark garage at 9 pm followed by 730 nm far red light and then back out at 7 am. The light initiates dark mode 2 h faster so it’s like having a 26 h day. Good trick use as a bloom booster, also moves up the finish 2-4 weeks. So, 10+2 is 12 h dark and 14 h daylight. Might sound bogus but it works.
July 21: first night of force flowering caused a big stretch. Notably stretched after darkness in hot garage overnight. Hot outside overnight too but was much hotter inside garage and recorded here as 24 C. Seems okay and high overnight temperature might be ideal at this early flowering stage. Warm overnight temperatures continue for a few more days.
July 22: record hot overnight low forecast for tonight of 24 C and feels like 27 C with humidity. Wow, that is really incredible for here and 13 C above historic average.
July 26: six days into flowering and she is doing fine. 👍👍

So work has been very busy - but plants look like they are doing well, last week we added the SCROG and top dressed, then just watering (De-chlorinated / PH 6.8) and 1 watering with Recharge.
The tent is alive with flowers, tomorrow I am going to add a second SCROG net to help with the weight when these flowers become
massive, also will clean out the plants a bit - and may try to create a compost tea.
Remember last week I moved the little girl over to my grow cabinet she is doing well but weird phenomes produce such a short plant when her sisters are like triple her size.
02.06.20 - Today I defoliated the little girl - look at all the flowers I found, I topped dressed with Organically Done Bloom Boost with Recharge.
02.06.20 - This afternoon I defoliated and cleaned out all 4 of the girls, topped dressed with Organically Done Bloom Boost (De-chlorinated / PH 6.8) - along with a few doses of optics overgrow planned in the morning - I like to use optics overgrow for insect an inoculant and as a WPM prevention, the other amazing things this dose it just a bonus.
02.07.20 - Uploaded a few pics of the day after defoliation - all looks great!
02.07.20 - Just a few more pics from this evening - the plants are responding well to the cleanup - also pushed the light to 100% now just have to keep things watered and let the buds get fat and juicy!

Day 21 From Sprout - Rez Change
Overall, very happy with the development over this past week. The ones that were already looking good at now looking great!
The couple of “weirdos” (strange development of leaf/node placement) both have decent roots but are growing slowly.
The couple that initially were throwing out more “jagged” leaves seemed to have settled in and are looking good now.
Only 1 (back right corner) is iffy.
Roots are slowwwwly dropping out of the basket but not yet in the water. Going to keep
It around for now and see what happens.
Continuing with Mantis @ the “always” rate of 5 ml/L. They’re loving it!
Several of the “great ones” have 5-6 nodes developed, so I’ll top them back to the 3rd more and start training into a manifold since I’m going to give some of the others time to catch up. I’ll decide on training for them as we go.

Hey everyone :-)
This week it smells more and more sweet and fruity in the whole room 😍.
There is actually not much to report, everyone is now under 12/12 :-).
This is the last grow that comes in the entire diary.
From now on, each plant will be added to the diary 👍.
I wish you all a lot of fun watching, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 😎👌

Had a great week. ILGM has always been a strong grower for me. I've grown a few different strains from ILGM and they always grow very well. She went from 8 inches to 16 inches this week. I topped her about 3-4 days ago. She recovered from the topping very well and has new growth so she is doing as well as I could want. No problems to talk about this week 😀. Onto week 5.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la tercera semana de floración de estas Papaya Zoap F1 de Sweetseeds.
Vamos al lío, me quede con 3 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor.
También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros.
Y también superaron el shock por el trasplante se recuperaron 100%.
El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%.
El fotoperiodo esta a 12/12 para floración. Las jodidas estiraron bastante, y es algo que no me gusta de todas las F1, que cultive hasta ahora.
Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Now that V started, both ladies have began flush. Nemo actually started early last week since (20 ml heavy 16 finish and 1 gallon of RO watrr per feed). Nemo on left, a little less directly under the light is more developed, both bud structurely and trichome color (clear transitioning to cloudy or milky trichs more each day). V on the right side is much less finished, being a more haze influenced pheno. it seem lankier and slower to finish, however severe light stress from being grown up to close to light has bleached maybe 6-10 tops of the 15 tops on v. nemo will be done sometime later this week or early next week. Going to harvest the tops entire plant on nemo, then rewaeave V back thru the scrog to allow greater distance to light and better airflow for it to fill in a little more and finish up over next 2 weeks or so. will be closely monitoring bud sites in top colas to harvest when trichomes are almost fully milky white, just before amber.

la semaine c'est bien passé aucune carence apparente . j'augmente progressivement la dose d'engrais je suis surpris de voir l'évolution de certaines plantes durant la phase de stretch au cour de la cinquième semaine
mention spéciale pour la blueberry #1 (palissée) et à la GG de chez fastbuds

We’ve now reached the third week of flowering, and I’m thrilled with how well my plant is doing!
I adjusted the nutrients recently, and it’s definitely made a difference. The plant seems to be thriving, and the leaves are showing a vibrant green, indicating that it’s getting exactly what it needs.
Even more exciting, the trichomes are starting to form all over the buds, and there’s no shortage of them!
It’s amazing to see so many trichomes developing this early on, giving the plant a frosty look already.
The overall growth is still going strong, and the buds are getting fuller.
I’m really happy with the progress so far and can’t wait to see how things continue in the coming weeks.
I hope this nutrient adjustment keeps everything on track for a great harvest!💚🌱

In general i am very satisfied considering the biggest problem i had which was the heat during all the growing period. I also had a power cut which stressed the plant very much to the point it stopped growing for a few days ( the most critical days 😡 😤 ) and developed 3 finger leaves. Despite the heat the buds are very frosty, they have a very strong smell like fruits and diesel and the density is decent. The buds dried for 9 days at 22 °C and 60% RH and now are placed at PP tapers with boveda envelops to cure. Smoke report at 2-3 weeks.

I am extremely impressed: Zamnesia and Plagron !!!! Auto Runtz showed no negative emotions throughout the growth :) Plagron nutrients gave her what she wanted ;) In general, this whole trip was something unreal, (with such a result I have a little hope of winning a prize from the ongoing competition :D :D ) Her aroma is full of tropical fruits!!!! (I can't wait to taste her :D:D) So from my travel suitcase, I got 225 gr of wet harvest weight, I am really happy about that :) (probably 50-60gr of dry flowers), by the way, I will also publish the dry flower weight, as soon as she is ready for it :) I did a lot of photoshoots, but unfortunately my lighting was not good, so I didn't get to take better photos ... Thank you to the sponsors @Zamnesia @Plagron for the opportunity, you are amazing!!! good luck to everyone!!!! And now I can think about a new Suitcase Lady :).
