Nice forming of buds

DAY 56 flowering: Hi all and welcome to any new visitors too. We are at the near end point now with this 1st run of the viparspectra xs1500. It has been a very pleasant experience and also a humbling one too. I never expected the performance it has proven and initially thought I would struggle to find a practical way of incorporating it into my set up and to see what it had got to offer. Deciding to go the route I have was more driven by the lights abilities to perform wat better than I anticipated. The 5 seedlings soon became 5 big ladies that would have been impossible to squeeze under the 2x2 flowering coverage They did however, get an amazing start right up to flowering beginning before I had to choose who stayed under the xs1500. The 2 that I mainly diary for the lights ability are the focus of the journal but I have to include a little on the other strains due to their initial support from the light and to also include the Gorilla cookies as they are amazing plants. They are both so close to ready now and sadly one of the mains has been hit with an little bud rot from its density. The buds smell so candy sweet now too. I will be keeping a very vigilant eye on these now. Grandaddys mimosa had continued her swelling from using the #Shogun Dragon force and is a perfect example of how the product works in the final 2 weeks of flowering , when usually they are fading out to finish. The buds have doubled in girth with an absolutely solid feel to them too . The light has helped create some very hard buds. No signs of whisky popcorn at all and each stack is a solid spike of flowering plant. For such a squat girl, she is so impressive. She smells so fruity with a hint of citrus to her and she is engulfing all the leaves that had been poking out previously. I think she will be a surprise yield next week !. The Northern lights girls are both doing really well too with the #2 mutant starting to ripen up finally now. She is still way taller than her sister but has sone long node gaps. #1 is totally different, she is a spiked monster compared and her colas are taking on a nice pale orange colour as they ripen. I do think she will go another week before being ready to consider harvest. She is still so fresh looking in a lot of places that I dont want to rush her at all. The light has managed to penetrate deep enough into the plant to create long spiked colas with no issues down low in the canopy with whispy popcorn to mention either. This is a very positive point to mention as some l.e.d do not get the penetration needed to do more than create a top canopy with poor light reaching deeper and not supplying the par they need. This light does not have that issue by a long shot. It penetrates like "Dirk diggler" and reaches all those important ladies parts !!!.... I am most impressed by the mimosa so far and as a 1st gen cross auto of a mimosa lemon Male sacks and a random multi strain seeding from its pollen release , I have ended up with a good amount of crossed autos from trusted and stable strains. It can be fun growing these out and so far this is the 3rd from the batch that I have successfully run. Aside from the benefits of the end products we get , the journey we go on can be an amazing and eye openening experience. If you start to investigate how these plants really live , love and die and how they use the network of available systems to communicate and build our much loved bud factories , you will find it hard to climb out of that rabbit hole . Finding out that fungi is not the man everyone wants to party with but IS a complex communication system used in nature to meet the needs of the whole forest/fauna in unison is life changing !!!!!. Be well growmies. See you on the next update... UPDATE UPDATE###UPDATE####UPDATE The Gorilla cookies have reached their end !!. At day 57, they are now going into a 48hr dark period before harvesting . I did have a couple of bud rot issues in one or two buds due to the density of their growth. I am hoping to keepnot at bay during the low and slow dry after trimming wet this time. I will update their yield ect once they finish. Pics dont do them justice and they smell so sweet. Thanks fast buds.

After the harvest I did a bud wash with hydrogen peroxide. I wanted to make sure that the plant is clean. For this; I needed to cut the branches down because no bucket is big enough to bud wash a whole plant. This makes the drying time faster since smaller branches dry more quickly because of less water retention. She dryed for about a week.

Papaya sherbet has tops for days tying her down, but she just keeps bushing back out. Cannot wait to see what the buds look like. I’ve had the opportunity to smoke and grow papaya auto flower. truly, one of my favorite tasting sativa cannot wait to see how the papaya sherbet holds up🔥💯

GSC (& Sour Diesel - tentmate) seem to be growing with very healthy green growth. Responding well to light 1/3 to 1/4 recommended dose of Fox Farm nutes. Sour Diesel, which was much smaller and had weak trunk stem as seedling is slowly catching up to GSC.

Rock hard buds Miicrobialmass for the win and the new led is killer. The knobs like knots grow out of the sides of the buds are something to look at wow !!! Monkey berries is in flushing mode , slurricane won’t be far behind in the next week or 2 I’ll flush

Buds are fully purple

good day brothers and sisters! just keep on bloom, stay high! :)

Was Easy Going No Issue Smaller side but didnt do much just let her go little over water @ Times from all the Rain was having... but she handled it

Tied her down and regular defol as the bud arms start to form shes real bushy and looking like she’s about to stretch out I wouldn’t be surprised to see her at around 70 cm this time next week . The tent is getting mad full

Hello growers, everything is getting super frosty, but i noticed that almost all hairs are turning orange allready, anyone knows why that is maybe? Other than that the girls are coming along nicely. My camera broke so i'm using my phone this week, sorry if bad quality Good growing everyone 👍😀

DAY 25 Pictures before 2nd time topping. Numbered the plants from tall to small. Height Royal AK : 15-20 cm. and they all look very similar

Ragazzi è stata una vera soddisfazione di aver avuto l'opportunità di provare una genetica di SSSC 💜 Li ringraziamo tantissimo per l'opportunità che ci hanno dato e ci rivedremo molto presto con un'altra delle loro favolose genetiche... molto probabilmente una della fioritura rapida! Coming soon on CampaCavallo 🏆 💚👍🏻

11-13-24 ALMOST READY........ ORANGE CREAM POP,POWER,QUEENWULFF

this is the first week of the flowering i hope my plants will get bigger the same I turn off the ventilation and i get +5 cm height 💪

All set for another shed grow now the temps a dropping. This is another tin shed grow and they certainly have there challenges. I thought I would waterproof my shed, unfortunately I sealed the outside not realising that run off channels run down the panel, I effectively stopped all drainage and due to a shipload of rain the last few days it's wet inside. Lucky I have my tent raised. A problem that will certainly need to be fixed prior to flowering, for now I'll just make sure I'm wearing my gumboots.

I started Flushing two plants as there nearing the end of there days. I'll start Flushing the others this week apart from the kalimist indica pheno as it started flowering 3 or so weeks after the others even though they were all forced together. (alkward bugger) Some of the plants are showing red /purple colours a little bit 👍
