Today: 14.18 hours of light 100.4 °F 58%Rh 1 million of mosquitos I've spent this hot week training these two plants trying to keep them the lower as possible since the two main buds have reached the roof (7.87 ft tall). Cookies Gelato is about 9.50 ft tall. I've applied white plastic net all around the pergola to give them some shade in order to slow down the metabolism. These plants are giant and there is no more space to move around. Asparagus stalks are well formed so this is, hopefully, the last preflowering week. Cookies is hungry and some bottom fan leaves start to show chlorosis but the top/mid canopy is plenty of natural nitrogen. During these last weeks I've watered them with 4-5 gallons each, leaving the soil to dry for 2/3 days, they seem to love this scheme. Also, the fact of not having pluck away even a leaf made these plants big and extremely vigorous. Tomorrow I will create a roof with clear plastic rolls as the nighttime humidity begins to increase and some summer thunderstorms are on the horizon.

Week 17

Off to a good start. Starting to look slightly hungry for more nutes ,going to increase concentration slightly and continuing to bottom feed for a few more days.

We're almost there :) The RHC#2 has developed a fantastic nose of artificial sour grape on a tropical backgroung (Mango, pineapple, lemongrass). My favorite of the run so far

Nothing much, now the flowering started I've changed from P20 phosphore to pk13/14 ~ 2 ml a liter.

I think she has one week delay and is in week two of flowering

she has a sweet smell ... she was taken care of as they deserve all ... she feeds herself with natural products ... she is in her last stage of flowering ... the days are cloudy and there is no sun .. she with a generous sun should be abundant .. I will one day cultivate it ... I help them with a hps focus because I do not have a good sun

buds are starting to get heavy I had to put a few on steaks

Did some more defoliation but keeping her going as she's wrapping up the stretch. Really starting to flower now, which took way longer than I expected. She's a late bloomer for sure, not the best for growing outdoors, this was a test seed though so I just kept her going. Amsterdam Genetics doesn't recommend this one for growing outdoors btw.

Lowered water flux in 1/5 this week to nearly 350ml 2x/day expecting to stop bottom pot leaking and to take 2 more weeks till harvest. Usually takes 7 weeks to full ripe but I'll let 8 this cycle to see how it goes. Early skunk pistiles start turning orange/brown and buds gaining volume. Also showing lots of resin on all buds and top leaves. Leaves start changing colors (due to ripening I guess). I'm not monitoring tricomes yet.. La Fanta CBD pistils still white and bud development not as fast as early skunk. Early skunk 2 overgrew its spaisland is covering some La Fanta's light. La fanta might take 2 more weeks to full ripe then early skunk

Harvested after 58 days flowering Last 34h in darkness

During the third week of vegetation I started practicing Mainling's technique. To do this, I patched the plant at the third node and cut all the underlying shoots. ✂️🌱 I tied the two main branches with string to keep them down. The plant appears to be responding well and shows no signs of excessive stress. ✔️

🔇🙈

The plant is drinking over 3 gallons of water every day. I’ve lowered the PPM’s to 600. Everything seems to be ok now. I will try to change the reservoir water every 5 days from now on. She started to smell amazing! Very lemony 🍋 P.S. Lowerd the TDS to 550 PPM on day 46. Also just realized that I stressed my plan with to much light. I moved the light at 13” and dimmed to 95% ... I will continue to dim it 2% every day...

25/01 Still having problems with the heat, I've build a exaust with 2 120mm computer fan, this week has arrived the humidity controller and I noticed that is to low for the temperature. Now I waiting for a mist maker to build a DIY humidifier(using a simple water spray for now) I belive this will be the solution to get a better VPD and control this fucking heat inside the tent 😎 30/01 The temperature is reaching more suitable levels, between 25-27°C. Even with the rainy days and higher humidity outside, the grow is stabilizing well at around 65% humidity.

These lady's have formed very nice buds even have a few show purple 😍 this strain has been very good can't wait to see war other color pop off right it's the start of 6th week flower
