So the plants survived without light in my garage for 2 days, thank goodness! FBP2 is the best plant by far. She had stacked lots of tight buds, orange pistils coming in nice. Nice bushy structure to her. Super happy with her progress. Royal Critical is doing great, progressed further than all the others so far, lots of orange pistils, curling inwards towards the buds, still white pistils too, so not ready obviously. Not as dense a structure as FBP2, but much better than FBP1 and FBP3, which you can see are way behind both the others. They're looking super straggly. Not sure that they'll improve much at this stage unfortunately. Still I'm pleased overall with this grow, as it's my first and I have learnt a lot about the necessity for LST, and genetics being different from plant to plant. Hopefully we'll be able to harvest the Royal Critical here soon, then FBP2. As for the other 2 plants, I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to proudly present to you my diary in which, for the next winter time outside the window, I begin a magical adventure with the famous gorillas in a rather exotic climate - and here I want to point out that the seeds were a gift from RQS. Once again I want to thank for the grinder that I use every day, the Vertafort fertilizer which will land in the soil, the posters that decorate the walls in my room (you chose my favorite varieties btw) and the 10 seeds of the Royal Haze which will surely be in the next project. So today I feel like I'm in a position to share with an adventure that starts here and now. I feel obliged to post new updates every day. Please also comment and give advice by colleagues in the field. Here is a list of things I will use: Soil: Biobizz ALL-MIX Fertilizers: All Biobizz Bio-Grow Bio-bloom Bio-heaven Top-Max Leaf-Coat Acti-Vera ALG-A-MIC Veg setup: Growbox 70x45x150 MH 150W GIB Lighting GROWTH SPECTRUM Advanced Humidifier 5L AERI Advanced Star 13W Fan Carbon filter ORIGINAL 75 - 100 M3 per H Axial Flo Fan 100 Peat pots: 7x 10X8cm and 3x 11X10cm And much much love Flo setup: Growbox Secret Jardin 120x120x185 Dark Street LED 2x200W ADVANCED STAR DUAL HPS 150W GIB Lighting FLOWER SPECTRUM Pro Secret Jardin Monkey Fan 20 Secret Jardin Monkey Fan 30 Fan PK125 MES 420m Coal Filter Prima Klima ECO 360 - 480 m3 I will soon describe more details.

Blue Mammoth is 3 months old today and was harvested today. 440 grams wet (untrimmed and still on the branches). Going to try drying with the leaves on, then doing a dry trim this time. She smells sweet and fruity. I'll post the harvest info after she has dried and cured.

Fed Recharge for the first time this week, also fed Espoma Organic Bloom. Did some defoliation too. She seems happy and healthy overall, but I see what I believe is LED light burn on some of the sugar leaves on the upper most buds. I jacked up the LED light as high as I can without completely reorganizing all plants, lights, etc. Even completely reorganizing the tent, I'd only be able to gain 2-3 inches of height so not sure if its worth it. Now that I harvested the Blue Mammoth I have a little room to try some LST-style bending and try to get the plant farther away from the light that way. We'll see what happens during the week.

Can you believe this is just one plant!? She may only be 12 inches tall but she be over 20 inches wide. Looks like we're done with the webcam because this week the plant has grown to fill in all the space and swamp the camera. Did a few more LST bends as new shoots would start bursting through the canopy. It really seems to stunt their growth once they get pulled away from being the solo star in the limelight. My light is just two COBs so once things get off to the side you can really see the effects of the light dropoff. Plant still looks healthy A.F., I saw one leaf that had a couple brown spots on it but it disappeared beneath new growth so fast I don't really care to do anything about it-- I think my pH might be a little low. The little sucker is growing almost an inch a day, so I've been having to raise the lights every morning. I've decided to switch to flowering light schedule to 12/12, even though I've heard that a mature plant will have nodes with leaves that alternate and this plant seems to have them still coming out at the same place. To this end I've added 10x CREE XP-E HE Photo Red diodes to supplement my 4000K COBs. COME ON BLOOMS

I have been very busy over the last week so I haven't had much time to do any documentation. There isn't much going on at the moment so you aren't missing out on much. There have been a couple of leaves on this plant showing some strange markings. Nothing that is uniform nor reoccurring. I think these defects I show in the video are localized to just two or three leaves so I am not too concerned at the moment. I will keep an eye on her for the time being. Other than that, the plant looks really happy and is growing very well. Good color all around and getting very bushy.

Sorry for the lack of content this week. I have been swamped with work and studies. It's hard to keep up with documentation. This plant is growing great. It is drinking about a gallon every two days and just exploding with new growth. I haven't had to fight her tops with super cropping or anything. She has this incredibly even top very healthy new growth. Fantastic strain so far. She has started giving off a funky smell. Like ozone, raw bananas, and coffee.

The little Dawg is coming on great , res change and some more nutes and it's started to open up. The difference in only 48 hours has really surprised me :) Day 3: seems like the little Dawg loves the res haha. .. doubled in width and grew 2cm in 48 hours , drank roughly 4 litres of water , poms were 350 then then dropped to 315 so it's definitely loving them nutes :) Day 4 : decided to do top my dawg and defoliate last night/this morning, came back in tonight and it's drank 2L of fluid and exploded with roots and perked right up.... I know it's it's classed as sin to top autos but i love to experiment and I've assumed if it it can grow this much in less than 21 days then then it should have enough time to heal and stretch some more before flower - well well that's my theory haha. .. All a learning curve for me :) Day 5: perked up since topping it yesterday and I'm positive i can see new leafs trying to poke through the top already so , I've applied some cablr ties to begin training it. Day 6: the little dawg seems to have took took the topping and training in its stride haha.... can see 2 new sets of leaves poking through the top, the plant stands roughly 12cm as it's topped and being trained , spans 20cm

She looks a bit deranged at first sight no doubt maybe u feel a little uncomfortable but let me tell you this girl is a moose on the loose. she looks like a statue of medusa the lady with snakes for hair and her long lost children But a few inches below those twizzler heads is some solid nugget. Smell like wet mangos as it should and is sticky as a fly trap. The buds are ridiculous in size the main one is as wide as my head. The lowers and side branches are actually somewhat normal compared to the others. There's no way of knowing the quality and production until harvest but if I can trim her up nicely into small nugs I think we'll be aight. Started lowering ppms this week but it's hard to tell when she is gunna ripen up with the foxtails. Right now the trichs are mostly cloudy with some clear and no amber I just can't imagine they can get bigger than what they are now. Will need to run this one back at some point and try to avoid the tails.

I've been away for a week, leaving my tent in the care of a friend. Coming back I was surprised to see how much bud growth has occurred, as you can see colas are really starting to stack up, and trichromes are already appearing. AK48 seems to have some purple coloration creeping in on her buds which is really beautiful, just hard to capture as my led throws a purple hue on my photos in the first place. Today I spent two hours trimming leaves from the tent and have kept the airflow at a healthy level. Happy at how everything is looking, and at only three weeks into flowering she seems really promising. Stay tuned!

Pineapple Express is growing as amazingly as ehs always seems to, and this time around there's certainly a lot more of her to be seen. At only three weeks into flowering, there seems to be a lot of potential for the weeks to come. I spent 2 hours trimming leaves today, mainly in spots where they were rubbing against other colas, and there's a good amount of space for each branch so far. Really excited to see what develops. Stay tuned!

Happy Birthday! One week old today and looking good. Stretched a little more than I hoped, but maybe that will help when I bend her in a few weeks. MA is front-center in the group shots.

High, FD57 Time passes by! Nine days of flush, five days to harvest...😇 FD58 - last flush.👌 Some growers turn their light off during the last couple of days, thinking that the buds produce more resin. Kinda true. But the trichomes only have a stem and no head. And the head is what I want. So no need for this. 👍 Pics from FD61 were take shortly before the light went on. You want a closer look? Just open the pic in a new tab... 😉 Thanks for your support guys, you rock. 😘 Stay green. 👽

Week 4 saw abundant flower growth. There’s a noticeable difference in the size of each bud site compared to last week. Another thing I noticed is that the buds on the branches that were supercropped seem to be fuller and thicker! Started to see increased trichome production on both the sugar and fan leaves. Most growers are against stressing their plants in flower but I believe it depends on the strain you’re growing and how she was prepared in veg. I’m thoroughly impressed with the amount of resiliency she’s shown up to this point. I haven’t seen any indication that the high stress that I’ve put her through towards the end of veg and the beginning of flowering has cost me anything besides an additional week of flower.

Auto Lemon is rocking along now. Gave her Recharge for the first time this week. Seemed to love it! Defoliated and she bushed back out again in a couple of days. Bud sites are getting bigger for sure. Auto Lemon is back-center in the whole tent photos.

Bent her a little too hard (or too late) and snapped the main stalk, but taped it up and she seems fine now. Also gave her some defoliation. Fed Recharge for the first time too, seemed to like that, I think it helped with the fast healing of the snapped stalk. Bud sites starting to develop. AVT is front-right in the group shots.
