Longer warmer days

Esta semana es la última que abonamos, hemos abonado con todo pero bajando la dosis de la base la mitad de la semana pasada y a partir de aquí solo regamos con agua para limpiar la planta y el sustrato.

April 26, 2024 Day 71 This week we focus on watering and nutrients. A secondary focus will be on a changing environment and light intensity changes. Both ladies had their reservoirs cleaned out and have fresh nutrients. It's also the start of late flower, so things will be changing with the nutrient dosage. I'll most likely keep the nutrients the same for this week, but I may start to drop the dosage a little for each watering until the flush period starts. So depending on how they look, I may change the dosage for this week's last watering. I'll be bringing it down 25%. So 8 ml goes down to 6 ml and 4 ml goes down to 3 ml. I'll change this for the next 2 weeks until it's just plain water for 2 waterings and then Flawless Finish. It should play out quite well. The lighting will also be changing a bit this week. I'll be dropping the DLI to 43 mol/m²/d mid week and will then lower it to 40 mol/m²/d beginning next week. I'll then drop it to 36 mol/m²/d the week after and finally 32 mol/m²/d for the final week. The environment will also be dropped from 77° to 75° during the day and from 68° to 65° at night. The humidity is solid at 47% and I think that's the best I can do for the rest of the grow. Both plants look great. They have tons of orange pistils and tons of trichomes. I'll be taking trichome pics every few days. One for each plant. I feel like it'll be a better comparison than daily pics. For the trichomes anyway. Anyway, they both still have time to swell their buds more. I'm not expecting big buds from these two. Medium sized maybe, but definitely not big. They just don't look like they will get that big. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 47.7% VPD: 1.49 kPa April 27, 2024 Almost all of the pistils are orange now on both plants, but the buds are still swelling. Interesting. I'll be taking trichome pics today at some point. I was going to yesterday, but got distracted with video games. Whoops. There's tons of trichomes. They are definitely frosty and continuing to get frostier. Nothing much to do today. Each plant got an inspection and passed with flying colors. There were some loose tie downs as well. Mostly from the crowding in the tent. So those got removed. Tropicana Cookies is looking super good now with her buds being everywhere and them swelling up finally. She could stand to get a few leaves taken off, but I'd rather just leave it alone now. No sense in undue stress. Tropicana C also looks great. She has to be the biggest of the two. Not the tallest, but definitely the most girthy. Lots of buds and also starting to finally swell up. I'd also like to mention the colors coming from both plants where the buds are nearly done. Lots of purple hues. You can't really see them from the small sugar leaves and frost covering it. But it's there. The lighting as I said will stay the same for the first half of this week. Then I'll drop it. However, I may leave it to next week. We shall see. The environment is looking pretty good. The temp is a bit high currently at 77.8°. the humidity is still at 47%, but I managed to get it down to 44% for most of yesterday afternoon. The DLI is a bit high today at 1.66 kPa. Nothing a small adjustment won't fix. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.5° RH: 45.7% VPD: 1.55 kPa April 28, 2024 Not a lot going on today. I'll be refilling the reservoirs later this afternoon. That's about it. I have a bit of a concern. Both ladies have really small buds, and I think they may have stopped swelling. I'm wondering if I have nutrient lockout or something. They are showing signs of stress. So I've already started dropping the nutrients down by cutting Overdrive in half as it seemed to have been the original cause of the nutrient burn. And the next watering will have all nutrients cut in half. Next week I'll drop it to 25% and leave it til flush, which may be next week anyway. We shall see. Other than that, both plants are covered in trichomes. They smell wonderful as well. Like orange and some other light citrus and gas. Smells super good as well as sweet. There is also a hint of cookies. The DLI will be dropped to 40 mol/m²/d tomorrow. I'm assuming it will only be a 10% drop on power, so I shouldn't lose much penetration. The environment is off today. It's warm and super humid with bouts of rain. So naturally, the tent environment is all wonky. The temp is at 75.5° with the humidity way up at 60%. I turned the AC on and now it's just a matter of tweaking and waiting. I may have to crank it and sacrifice some temp for lower humidity. It should be fine that way, but the humidity is definitely too high. Update: I ended up adding about a half gallon of plain water to both reservoirs. Just Incase I have nutrient lockout or something. They should go through that by tomorrow afternoon. Maybe late evening. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.6° RH: 52.8% VPD: 1.39 kPa April 29, 2024 No watering today. The plants are both still going through the half gallon of plain water from yesterday. Let's hope it clears up the nutrient burn. They look great with their trichome coverage. The only thing I'm pretty disappointed about is the size of the buds for both plants. I wonder what I did wrong. I'm guessing the introduction to Overdrive was about 2 weeks too early. Removing the Big Bud was also a major mistake I think. It should have stayed in the mix for 2 more weeks. Lesson learned, make adjustments to any feeding schedule to match the plants growth stage. Maybe I'll ask that question. The lighting was changed today. I dropped the power level down to 70% to get a DLI of 40 mol/m²/d. It's not perfect as the plants do not have level canopies, so some of the spots go all the way up to 45 mol/m²/d still. It's not a bad thing I think. The DLI was a bit high for those tops anyway. The environment is still wonky. The temp is fine at 76° to 77°. A bit high from what I want, but not out of range. I'd still like it down to 75° or 74°. The humidity is what's out of whack at 60% and it doesn't seem to want to drop. I have a heater on to clear out the room humidity and a dehumidifier in the tent working it's hardest. Which isn't very hard. I believe the fans are going on it. It may be time for another one. Something the same size but more powerful. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 59.8% VPD: 1.15 kPa April 30, 2024 Watering day. Both ladies got their full gallon of nutrients. I'm going to cut it when it drains down some with plain water. Both plants look good even though they have small buds. They are everywhere and seem pretty dense. So it's just a matter of time. Maybe another 2 weeks. Maybe less. Hopefully less. The nutrient burn was an issue, but now I think it's good. I dropped the Overdrive significantly, but I think I can plainly say, I have ruined my yield for these two plants. Lesson learned. Plain water at the first signs of stress. The scent is super strong now and smells like oranges and candy. Or something like that. All I know is that it smells great. The lighting is pretty good. No reaching yet, so it's definitely not too low. I may just leave it here for the rest of the grow. I read that lights don't need to be dimmed for autoflowers. It could be right. I've never dimmed the lights before. We shall see I guess. The environment is still wonky with the humidity being high still at 57%. I can control the temp pretty easily, but the humidity will not budge. I'll keep trying. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.5° RH: 57.0% VPD: 1.26 kPa May 1, 2024 Nothing to do today with these two. No watering needed, no light changes, nothing. I pulled them out, tooky pictures and checked them over. No issues pest or fungus or anything. The only issue I have is the nutrient burn. Some of the leaves are getting yellow spots on them and frankly I have no idea what to do here. Keep the nutrients the same? Cut the nutrients down some over the next week or 2? Go with plain water? Not too sure. I still see many stresses. And I think that is the cause of my tiny buds. It seems that I did take the Big Bud out too early and added the Overdrive way too soon. Oops. Lesson learned with this run. I don't think it's a matter of an over abundance of nutrients, but the wrong ones at the wrong time when the plants weren't ready for it. I'm guessing that's what has happened here. Both ladies smell fantastic. Super sweet and strong. Crisp, and not pungent. Refreshing even. Tropicana Cookies has some pretty hard buds and lots of them. Of course, larger buds are preferred, but as long as these come out fire, I'll be happy. Her branches also seem to be holding up nicely. Tropicana C on the other hand has weaker branches and the tallest top is starting to lean pretty heavily. A great sign for bud density. Both plants have phenomenal trichome production. It's getting better everyday. Tons of clear with a mix of cloudy and amber, definitely not ready yet, but soon I think. Very soon. Maybe another week and a half? Maybe 2. As I said before, I didn't change the lighting at all. It's current DLI is 40 mol/m²/d through most of the central canopy. The outside of the canopy is roughly 38 mol/m²/d. So it's all good now. The environment is still wonky with the humidity being at 59%. It's maddening. The room is 49% and the temp is fine at 75°. I'll sacrifice up to 77° if I can get the humidity around 50%. Not ideal for this stage in life, but it will have to do of I can even get it there. I do have a large dehumidifier, but it doesn't work right. When the compressor shuts off, it blows are that humid air right back into the room. I need a new one. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.2° RH: 56.1% VPD: 1.27 kPa May 2, 2024 Not a lot going on today. No watering, no trimming, nothing. I did change the light last night to 80% power. Tropicana Cookies looks great! She has purple coming out all over her buds. No fade yet though. I can assume that will be coming through in the next week or so. Her tops buds are getting slightly fatter and heavier than before. I hope it will continue to do so over the next 2 weeks. Tropicana C is slightly behind. She doesn't have nearly as many orange pistils and the purple is just starting to come through. However, she has tons of trichomes covering everything top to bottom. Her buds are about the same size as her sister, so they may end up swelling bigger than Tropicana Cookies when all is said and done. We shall see. As I said earlier in today's post, I changed the light power from 70% back up to 80%. I think I dropped it too early and need to adjust it accordingly. I'll drop it again in a week or so. Maybe less. Now the DLI is at 43 mol/m²/d inside and 40 mol/m²/d on the outside. The environment is still off, but not as much. The humidity continues to be high, but only at 55% verses the 60% it's been stuck at for the last few days. The temp is fine at 74.5°, but I think I can increase that a bit and hopefully drop the humidity down in turn. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.7° RH: 55.2% VPD: 1.24 kPa

This was the most amazing indoor grow yet I love this strain now and will continue growing it for years to come now!!

Flowering Week 22: Buds Emerge & the Great Durban Haircut Update: 10.08.2025 | Day 156 Hey Growmies, Week 22’s got both ladies playing different games – Durban’s diving into bloom while Blueberry’s still stretching like she forgot the season. Durban Poison – Flowering Fireworks She’s all business now – white pistils poppin’ everywhere and buds startin’ to stack. Weird thing? Still barely any smell. Got no clue what this girl’s gonna taste like come harvest. Today’s mission: Giving her the big haircut she needs. Gonna clear out that jungle undercarriage for airflow. Blueberry – The Neverending Stretch This babe’s still shooting up for the sky like a rocket. Almost hit 2.10m now, sproutin’ new shoots at every bud tip like she’s in permanent preflower mode. Almost no pistils visible and a very calm smell. But she's definittely the prettiest green skyscraper in the garden. Wrap up: - Weather’s playing nice – sunshine and breeze mean zero mold nightmares (for now). - Not a single pest in sight – leaves cleaner than my Sunday shoes. - Bokashi juice twice a week keeps ’em glowing. Few yellow fan leaves? Nothin’ to sweat. Next Moves - Keep Bokashi rhythm steady – they’re lovin’ that funky juice. - Hope for Blueberry’s bud forming soon (will she hit 2.20m?). Clock is ticking. - Enjoy Durban’s bud show while waitin’ for Blueberry’s grand entrance. Grower love to y’all – catch ya next week! – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

This will be the last week of summer camp and as expected nothing went as planned. The 91 Grapes will be the best and last plant to be harvested. I think she will yield between three and four ounces of finished product and the buds are simply amazing. Hard as rock and covered with resin with plenty of terpines to go around as well. After receiving a good dose of molasses on Saturday she smells amazing Sunday afternoon and those buds continue to swell. She is ready at any given moment for the next few days it really just boils down to when I want to devote a couple of hours of trimming her up.

Last 10 days I worked with LST to get the plants more homogenized.

She is slowly changing colors. Pink and light green leaves cover the top. I am trying to lower the temperature but unfortunately that’s the lowest I can go.

All good

Starting week 2 of flower. Been slowly trimming any sucker branches that reach away from the main stem by greater than 2". I have moved branches into positions in the scrog screen to efficiently fill the whole net.

Finally getting the Advanced Nutes going as the twins start to spread into the SCROG. Really hate the terrible twine net I made but it will do the trick for this grow. Starting CRAZY light on the nutes since the burning from the earlier food, .5ml of each in 2 l of cold water then another litre of plain tap water after. They were starting to looks hungry so I let them dry out from the last flush. Have to keep a close eye to see if the PH perfect starts to affect the plant, I've never measured or tested PH or PPM throughout, need to get a kit and a timer this week so i can flip to flower end of this week or next. Will update with pictures/more info as the week goes on. UPDATE: Looks good in terms of reaction to the nutes after 24hr. Major defoliation to stop bunching up and let light through the net. Runt Danny DeVito is a little droopy but just because I fed them the same 3L and that terrible twin drinks a little slower than Arnold. Next day Arnold is almost ready for another water where the top layer is still damp on Runt Danny, basically have to stagger feedings between the two whenever they're ready. 6/28: I don't know if it's a placebo effect on my part but the addition of Advanced Nutes PH Perfect M-G-B system has sent the twins into over drive. Runt Danny DeVito just looks like a regular plant and Arnold is just an absolute beast. Like Predator-era Arnold. I've also decided instead of flipping at start of July I'm going to VEG 2 1/2 MORE WEEKS until Mid-July to help deal with the heatwave. I'll be away on vacation for a few days mid-July and know this strain can be hermy sensitive to flower/light changes so I want to make sure I'm around to fully monitor the environment. I'll probably leave them in the dark during the vacation to get them ready for the 12/12 flip. Also lets me get my duct fan/filter set up properly since I haven't gotten them yet. These are going to be absolute monsters.

Oh my goodness! I had a 12 hour harvest session and I am so burnt out x.x I might have a few weeks before I germinate again haha I had so dang much to harvest it was getting concerning. I had to use the trellis net in the tent. I have It nicely controlled using the exhaust fan and the humidifier to keep it between 0.7-0.9 kPa I also have two Ac units running to fight the summer heat and keep it as cold as possible! Those were the fattest and most prime buds. The B-grade heads were thrown in a paper bag amd into the fridge for an old school lotus inspired dry. And finally everything lower down that wasn't an apex bud and also the apex buds that were small were put into 8 Ziplock bags and thrown in the freezer. Fresh frozen bubble hash is in my future! I still need to aquire a rainbarrel spigot and two food grade buckets but I've got most everything else. The B grade buds will be either given away or made into more bubble hash because i am estimating about a pound of top-shelf flower and a pound for everything else. I've always disliked the hanging net drying racks but maybe I'll look into for the B-grade heads next time. This has been the longest cycle I have ever done and geez it's probably the biggest. I really hope it's the most enjoyable smoke! I'm locked in on the drying/curing process hoping to finally get something that can beat the dispenserary stuff. I am so excited! My next cycle plan is to do a rotating perpetual harvest every 3 weeks in the four 40 gallon containers using the last of my Strawberry gorilla and Gorilla Cookies from FastBuds. These plants and genetics far surpassed my expectations so far, I'll be back to update soon and I'll get a weight from each of the Top and Mid buds as well as the bubble hash yield. The bubble hash will be using Bubblebagdude 5 gallon zippered mesh bag, their 5 pack of 20-220 micron and some hand style agitation. It will be my first try! Thanks for reading, and please take care of yourself! No one can take care of you, like you can take care of yourself.

Hi guys and welcome back to week 12 😉 The plants look pretty good but the smell is even greater! The new dehumidifier does its work and the humidity is much lower now. Before the max was 79%. Now max is 63%. And if you just could smell it!!! You would fall in love immediately 😉 I just let the pictures speak for themselves ^^

So this is a combination of weeks 11-12 as they all went into 48 hours of darkness and cut down on different days. My got cut down on different days. Will post dry harvest pics next ;p

🎩🌈🍬

Goodday growmies as i already told you, i could not log in for 11 days (mayb 10 but i like the number 11..😎) Luckily GD finally let me in today..(finally ..sigh) so i can show off my sweet Candy girl! she is so awesome dont tell the other girls but she is the most beautifull RN..

Purple is starting to show on the leaves. Hairs are nice and white. Thc is starting to form around the bud points. It’s exciting to see these colors and the process of this one.
