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. 👍👍

Week 4 and buds are beginning to fatten up nicely, I’ve changed the position of the gelato and one of the Zkittles to improve light penetration into the canopy as the leaves have began to defoliate themselves from the plants. This being said all plants are looking green and healthy and show minimum environment stress. Hopefully this change in the canopy will allow each of the strains to grow to their full potential with the limited space that I have.

Increased their food by a tad. Looked perfectly health raised to about 1900ppm. Again spider mites at it crawling up every leaf and creating a colony. I thought it was over until I sat there nearly every night finding the f*****s and rubbing the leaves with the spray. Defoliation was needed ASAP due to them stretching nicely. Started slowly from the bottom up. (repeated this process every 3-5 days.)

Not much to say here, plants are growing nicely and overall look fine to me. i topped the bigger ones at the end of the week above the 4th node and the new branches are starting to develop. They get a little bit thirstier and drink more often and i think in the next week i'm going to put the small ones in bigger pots. So lets get into the next week :)

FBT 2309 is growing really good. I just changed her to ph water yesterday, to start her flush week. She is loaded with trichromes, and has a very nice aroma. Which is a sweet berry fruity smell. Everything is looking great. Next update will be the harvest.

6/24: Things are looking good! Haven't really changed much, but I did bring the light a little closer to the plant and I brought humidity down to 70%. The bud sites are growing very quickly. Hoping to be able to start some LST by the end of the week. 6/26: Loving the growth still! Keeping things as is still, as I am liking the results so far and don't think she would benefit from any adjustments. The 4th node has dropped nicely and 5th is coming along fast! Also, I planted four mystery seeds I received from a friend and three of the four popped today! We plan on trying our hand at a little outdoor growing with these. Nothing like a little experimenting, right? 6/29: All is looking well. I did remove the lowermost node, as well as start some LST on the second node. LST is something new to me an an opportunity i was not afforded with the slow growth and early flower of my last grow. I'm excited to see what different it will make. I plan to do the same on the 3rd node as well in the coming week. It's been fun watching this plant grow! WEEK 3 AVG TEMP: 73.2F WEEK 3 AVG HUMIDITY: 66.8%

After defoliating both Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) plants after week 11 they now develop more and amore flower clusters, since the light can penetrate deeper int the canopy now. The plants are producing trichomes like crazy, even the bigger sugar leaves are covered in them! VERY FROSTY PLANTS! The flower clusters clearly form colas now along all side branches and both plants fill up nicely. The smell is now strong and sweet with a clear peach aroma to it, it makes me smile every time I look into the tent. The plants love the Advanced Nutrients feeding schedule and are getting the recommended dose every watering.

Empiezan a oler bastante bien. El primer riego de esta semana fue de 1200ml. Les he conectado un extractor con salida a la calle porque empezaba a oler toda mi casa. Último riego de la semana 1500ml

Bewässerung: 1500 ml jeden 2 Tag in der Siebten Woche pH-Wert: 6.2 EC-Wert: 1,4 mS/cm Temperatur: 23ºC Luftfeuchtigkeit: 45% Schädlingsbekämpfung: wir werden die Gelben Aufkleber gegen Thripsen und Trauermücken verwenden. Dann kommen noch 1 Beutel Raubmilben an jede Pflanze und Nematoden in den Boden. PPFD: 800 µmol/m²/s DLI: 34 mol/m²/Tag Düngemittel: Diese Woche bekommen sie von unserem Mineralischen NPK(3,5-6-6) Dünger + einen Boost von Canna PK 13/14, etwas Plagron Green Sensation und natürlich weiter etwas CalMag von BioBizz zu Prävention Besonderheiten: ab Dieser woche wird nur noch entlaubt das LST ist Abgeschlossen und sie Stretchen sich. Zur Steuerung der Ventilatoren und Lampen Benutzen wir GHome Smart Steckdosen diese lassen sich über eine Handy app Programmieren. Die Ventilatoren laufen 1 stunde und dann pausieren sie 1 stunde und so den ganzen Tag im Wechsel. -Tag 51 Beide sind nun richtig in der Blüte, man kann aber jetzt schon klar erkennen das die Runtz #2 kompaktere Budds bildet als die Runtz #1, aber die Runtz #1 wird sicher mehr ertrag geben. Sehen aber soweit beide Gesund aus und bekommen Heute wieder eine gute Portion Dünger :) In ca 4-5 Wochen wird voraussichtlich geerntet. -Tag 53 Heute haben wir wieder beide etwas entlaubt damit die unteren Buds mehr licht bekommen und etwas wachsen, Es wurde auch wieder Dünger gegeben und wir haben die Dosis etwas erhöht. -Tag 55 die Buds werden immer besser und Grösser, beide sehe sehr toll aus. Sie wurden beide wieder etwas entlaubt damit sie mehr licht bekommen :) Heute wurde wieder eine Kontrolle gemacht um zu schauen ob es anzeichen von Männlichen Blüten gibt oder mann sonst ein Defizit erkennen kann.

Day 71 from seed the plant seems to be growing beautifully and now they are starting to develop beautiful flowers and they are entirely covered with white snow trichomes it is a very strong and powerful plant to grow what a beauty . I also I defoliate some of the lower branches that will not going to develop well enough because lack of light so they can use that energy on the upper buds instead of the lower ones. thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

Finally!!! It was her last week on veg! It’s time for much more interesting part of the grow now :D Everything looks very good, she’s healthy and start growing really fast now ;) Today I cut over 40 heads off before switching her for flowering. Almost everything below the net has been removed. Next week I’ll mount another net above. See you in a week!
