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. 👍👍

Close to harvest these beauties... I have checked trichomes they are ready but I still give several days more or I week from now:) No more nutrition since week 15... I want to flush them properly:)

Alaskan Purple Auto is growing great under the Medic Grow Mini Sun-2. She got a solution change today that is geared towards blooming. She also had a selective defoliation done to make sure cola sites are getting good light. She has been stacking, and getting ready to start bulking soon. Everything is looking good. She did start to show some potassium deficiency is why I changed the solution. It was also due. 🤞🏻 I didn't juice her too much on the change. Thank you Seedsman, and Medic Grow. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

As usual Moscow Blueberry is growing fast and hardy, and the Strawberry Cheesecake is happy in her early flowering stage. She’s starting to smell a good bit, and her terp profile so far smells like sweetened coffee! French Macaron’s growth is speeding up now that it’s gotten the chance to grow into its pot. I’m concerned with Northern Lights, as the new growth is twisted and weird. Hopefully I’ll figure out the cause by the end of the week or it may solve itself once the twisted leaves grow out more.

Pics are labeled at the beginning and end of week 7. The flowers are maturing. About 50% pistils are amber. I’m still having some lite green color in 1of 6 plants. Seems to be correcting now with nitrogen. 1 of 6 plants was a free seed. I lost track of which one but I think it’s easier to pick out now. Pic labeled with the one I believe is a different strain. It looks like a later maturing strain and heavier flowers. The smell is very very strong even with a new carbon filter inside the tent and one outside it in the room.

Looking good,hope she will become a monster MUST READ: it was my mistake and I caught it early because it was a waste of time. I broke the root of it at the beginning as I was planting it in the soil.So this is the new one

This is a slow flowering strain, but things are progressing nonetheless. Plants have gracefully taken everything I've thrown at it and have presented no problems thus far.

Hey guys! 👏 Hope everyone is doing well! This week was interesting. I made a small flush because I wanted to know how much salt my plants had in the soil (considering I've fed my plants with a lot of nutrients the past few weeks) aaaaand the results were quite interesting! They obviously had tons of salts! Here are the results of the runoff water: Falco 5.94 pH 1139 ppm (2278 us/m) Max 5.85 pH 2352 ppm (4704 us/m) Roko 5.64 pH 2453 ppm (4906 us/m) Boomer 5.72 pH 1765 ppm (3530 us/m) Surprisingly enough the plants that had the "worst" runoff values were the plants who had the most foliage and their leaves were the greenest. The pH "loss" of all the plants was also within the expected margin so that's good! 👌 The buds look beautiful and I also noticed some of the plant leaves are starting to turn purple 😍 the smell is also getting stronger and it's quite citric, I love it! Anyway, that's all for now. Thanks for reading! 🙌

Had these 2 girls from a friend growing them in the window. He cannot finish them so i put them in my tent that just have finished 4 other girls the same day. Cannot wait to grow the fat banana especially. Growing them under Mars hydro epistar 80 and added another 110 watt cfl to the grow. Doing one 12/12 from seed They are suffering from over watering in most of veg so i am starting out with a dry period before giving them the first Bloom nutrients

This lady was quite the pleasure to grow💯🤩 I just let her do her thing and this is the outcome 😍🙏 If I could only let you 👃 it’s insanely good I had no issues what so ever, other then she got very hungry and started to suck all nutrition from the big leaves 😳 Luckily I upped the fertiliser in time, and she finished quite nicely 💯🙏🌱💚 Final report will come when dried and put to in to jars 🤗

Had a bit of strip not much to say about this week again apart from flowering is happening finally and it's getting there with small bud sites popping out everywhere

Took well too last weeks flush. 💧 Did some defoliating to allow light deeper into the canopy. ☀️ Putting back on recommended strength nutes.💉

I guess I first have to extend a big thank you to James and the folks at RQS. The genetics of their “Northern Light” did not disappoint and this was a no fuss grow across all categories. This will be the only time you hear me refer to Northern Lights in the singular. It’s kinda like calling a “pickerel” a “walleye” - you just don’t do that up here😉. She took well to training, showed no signs of lockout or deficiency, and we were at the top limits of botanicare’s recommended feeding schedule the whole time. I’d call this typical NL - the scent wasn’t overly powerful, she grew somewhat squat and while I’m actually very surprised at the final weigh (thought it would be much less), the whole grow was typical of the strain in my experience. Possibly her biggest limiting factor was simply space constraints. The photos pretty obviously demonstrate that she got really crowded out by the neighbouring kush and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if she’d have done a little better with some more room. That said, what isn’t “typical” are the effects. RQS touts this as a cup winner and I can see why. Had the opportunity to sample a little and WHOA! She Hits with a lasting, cerebral and euphoric effect that starts as a light, happy high. Not a crippling or dulling effect at all. Just everything you’d expect from a well rounded strain in general. Perfect. I almost wanna describe it as a classic sativa but I’ve been smoking nothing but a pure indica for so many months now that anything different is gonna feel that way 😂. Thank Christ for some new stash diversity: 1:! Many, many thanks to all those who cared to comment, suggest or converse on this one. It’s been a pleasure hearing from everyone and I did what I could to keep ‘er interesting : 1:. Next up will be a couple autos on RDWC before the summer outdoor season (and a significant indoor upgrade) is upon us. That said, I still might be outta touch for a little while due to “life developments”. All the best with that quality smoke folks😉: 1:😜! Seeya on the flip side.👊😎0
