If you like this week, please hit a like, it costs you nothing! 👊. Thanks in advance 😉!
From/Desde: 12/08/19 || To/Hasta: 18/08/19
From day/Desde día: 21 || To day/Hasta día: 27
-----IMAGES & VIDEOS-----
V1: She's still turning with this size, but is lowering the total angle/week, of course she has stopped turning once topped. You can see at the end of the videos the clones i've taken from her. Anyway, 4 days after taking the clones i decided to kill them because i had to grow another 4 plants in September and it's going to bee too much work @time.
P4: I did a foliar irrigation this day, and i'm not going to add it to watering calendar. I'm using non PH adjusted water with BAC Foliar spray + BAC Plant Vitality Plus + BAC Pro Active.
P9: Pruning and topping time!!. I toped her at 10 cm exactly, abobe the 4th main internode. Also I pruned the first and second main internodes, so I'm leaving 4 main branches to create the plant, i will try to keep them all at the same height. Also i must admit that i don't like nothing the cable i used to fix them to the floor as it's potentially danger for the branches, it cuts like a knife!. Asap i will buy a good rubber covered cable for do the job. Also i will put one of my training structures in the floor, top supported by the 2 horizontal 6 mm aluminium rods i used to LST @images.
-----WEEK SUMMARY-----
Well well well, prunning & topping time 😋!!!. This week temperatures raised a lot in my country full direct to 35º along day due to warm winds coming from inside land, what's called here "Terral", while it's a name, it can be translated as something similar to "Sandwindy" 😰😰😱😷😷.
It's impressive how the Alice Kalashnikova (I de love more Alice than Avtomat 😂) did support those high temperatures like nothing.
-----WATERING CALENDAR-----
15/08/19 - 4,000 ml with all week nutrients @ 1 E.C. PH5.8
*****ESPAÑOL*****
Por favor, si te gusta esta semana dale un like, no te cuesta nada 👊. ¡Gracias por adelantado 😉!
-----IMÁGENES & VÍDEOS-----
V1: Y ella sigue girando a pesar de su tamaño, pero está reduciendo la cantidad de giro semanal, por supuesto parará de girar una vez le realice el topping. Al final del vídeo se pueden ver los clones que tomé de ella. No obstante, 4 o 5 días después de hacerlos decidí matarlos ya que tengo que plantar otras 4 plantas en Septiembre y se me iba a acumular mucho trabajo.
P4: Realicé un riego foliar este día, ya que no voy a añadirlo al calendario de riego os digo lo que he usado. Agua sin ajustar PH con BAC Foliar spray + BAC Plant Vitality Plus + BAC Pro Active.
P9: ¡Tiempo de poda y topping!. la he podado a exactamente 10 cm del suelo, justo por encima del cuarto nodo principal. También he podado los 2 primeros nodos, así que estoy dejando 4 ramas principales que intentaré mantener a la misma altura. Debo admitir que no me gusta nada el alambre que he usado para atarla a las barras ya que es potencialmente dañino, corta como un cuchillo. En cuanto pueda compraré un cable con cobertura de goma para hacer le trabajo. También pondré una de mis estructuras de entrenamiento sobre el sustrato y las mantendré fijas con las barras de aluminio horizontales de 6 mm que he puesto y que se ven en las imágenes
-----SUMARIO SEMANAL-----
Bien bien bien, ¡tiempo de poda! 😋. Esta semana las temperaturas han subido directamente a 35º debido al terral, es insoportaaaaaaaaaaaaaable 😰😰😨😨.
Es impresionante como Alice Kalashnikova (me gusta mucho más alice que avtomat😂) soporta estas temperaturas como si nada.
-----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO-----
15/08/19 - 4,000 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 1 E.C. PH5.8

First time growing in a long while. I set up a custom grow tent with some wood and mylar sheets. I'm using an old Rodeadro lamp for now but expecting the new Mars Hydro sometimes soon.
Really doing this for the experience with no great expectations and hopeful for a fair amount of weed in the end.

After 5 days of drying, this little girl who was a little bigger than a meter gave 950 grams and a little bit of popcorn...this picking was 870 and a little bit of popcorn, and 4-5 weeks ago during a storm, one branch broke, which yielded about 100, but let's say 80 for sure, a total of 950 grams of beautiful, huge, potent buds

Hello growmies. We are reaching the end of the journey! I enjoyed the experience so much that I will repeat it. I'll take a look at the trichomes to decide when to cut it.
4 Setembro - flush a todas as plantas com água muito fria (3L a cada).

Week 5 on the books ! 😎
This week the lady started to get fed the pre-flowering solution 👌
On Day 35 i did some light defoliation on the bottom large fan leaves to get better air circulation since the 5x5 tent is getting full by the day.
Roots are coming out from the bottom of the 8 gallon pot already, which is crazy.
let me know what you think !!
🙏

Day 24-31
(Day 25) The smell in here is absolutely ridiculous. My last grow didn’t smell even close to this bad in early flower.
(Day 27) Stretch is finally all done. #6 in the back is very stout and barely stretched compared to everything else. I doubt it will yield much but I’m excited to see the nice tight colas on it. It seems to be still getting adequate light and raising it up is hard to do with a scrog net so I will just leave it. If it wasn’t getting enough light it would be stretching right?
The early frost is really shocking to me. My last indoor round definitely wasn’t this caked and I’ve never had an outdoor plant on this level either. That’s also true in terms of smell too.
(Day 29) I’m still debating whether I should feed anything in flower or just leave it. The only deficiency I’m seeing is purple stems from P def which could actually just be from light intensity rather than a lack of P.
I’ve done some thinking and I’ve decided to only feed my small plant. What I’m most curious about is if a PK boost will actually make any kind of a difference in flower when it comes to bud size and smokability. So to test this theory I will be top dressing a teaspoon of 0-18-0 bat guano, a tablespoon of 1-4-2 Destiny launch and a half strength watering of 0-0-15 kelp extract. I’m trying to avoid N all together as I just toxed my guinea pig plants with another experimental flowering PK boost that had a very small amount of N in it. This plant in particular actually has very early signs of N def and probably will fade harder than the rest.
(Day 31) Shit. Looks like #1 is starting to herm. It’s definitely not environment or light leaks so maybe it’s just genetic or the recent leaching stressed it out too much. Either way, it’s only a single lower branch and I’m prepared to cut her down if I start seeing anymore. I double checked every other budsite but couldn’t find anymore. In my experience true herms usually start pushing bananas out of the main tops and plants like mine can usually be salvaged with little to no seeded bud. But then again it’s day 31, when these things usually start to happen. I’m 50/50 on this one. I will be watching it everyday like a hawk if anymore show up. The breeder I’m using, ‘Jordan of the Island’s’ is notorious for having unstable genetics and this will be the last time I run any of his stuff. The quality is good, certainly better than most European and Dutch genetics I’ve run but I know I could do better where genetics are concerned. I can’t wait to start hunting my archive dosidos x gelato 41 and in house sugarcane.

Holy moly. She's growing... like a weed.
She's loving the nutrient schedule and environment (finally). I was having an issue maintaining proper humidity levels and after exhausting EVERY possibility with venting, fans and otherwise, I have moved my dehumidifier inside the tent and it's working wonders. I drain the water with a shop-vac as I do the same for my run-off. Things are going great so far, I hope to continue this forward progress in the coming weeks. Going to LST sometime this week, just not sure when.
6/13: Started minor LST phase to open spots to light. Fan leaves are gonna be huge. I also overwatered her... I'm a noob.
6/14: No watering for 24 hours. I removed my LST. She wasn't yet strong enough for the arc I put into her. Another noob mistake and add the overwatering to this, I just wanted to destress her.
6/15: Back to regular 1 liter per 24 hours, also added Armor Si to the nute schedule.
6/16: She's showing signs of getting back to normal. Added Diamond Nectar on this day. I also LST'd her back to position.
6/18: Back to normal. I trimmed 1 fan leaf under the canopy that wasn't going to get any light.
6/19: She's better and growing well. I'm going to try and keep this vegetation stage a little longer. Added a little more water today, just a tiny bit. I have 2 other plants that are a week behind and I want them caught up for the flip as close as possible. Pray for me.

Using a 50/50 mix of Purple Cow IndiCanja living soil and Fox Farms Ocean Forest, just ph'd water using lemon juice to bring down my tapwater and mammoth P microbes. I brew teas with Nature's living soil auto flower line. Seeds in the soil 4/17...I plant directly into the soil without presoaking or letting a taproot grow, I've had 100% success rate so far so I'll keep doing it I think

At the beginning of this week, I have been fighting the gnats, which are less and less now. Just some watering and gradually lowering the light and going to full power. The Orange Hill Special has been filling out great and I must say, she is a pretty plant. With some manual bending and super cropping, I'm bending the longer stalks sideways and we are off. What I actually do is more of an intuitive hybrid between mainlining (where I bend the whole plant 90 degrees at the third week), LST (where I bend branches outward slightly, without tying), HST / Super crop (where I bend the stems 90 degrees with the clips or manually), after which I keep bending outward to SOG and, put the net over to end in SCROG.
This same method gave me the canopy in my prize-winning Gelato 33 grow. Check it out if you haven't seen it, it was my first experimental accident that led to beta test of Super Soil mixture 0.7, now we are at Alpha version 1.00 and testing great so far if I say so myself. I haven't seen such lush greens in my own grows, only outdoor. They seem uber-healthy and resilient, with very sturdy stems and leaves. Way more resilient than previous strains I tested in the beta soil.
The light is performing, the natural color of it makes everything pop. Mars Hydro has a winner with the SP-3000. Check out their site: www.mars-hydro.com
Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting me test it, hook them up for a great deal or info on their products!
Halfway through this week, I took the clips out, AND...... we switched them to go into flowering. After a day the stretch is already visible. I had to bend them again after a couple of days. Now we have almost a tent filling foundation for a maximum result canopy of buds.
I was wanting to amend the soil with flowering additions (see recipe in yellow image), but I'm holding it off for two reasons. A/ The leaves are still so green and lush, I think there is an abundance of nutes. B/ @Haoss mentions his suspicions on his OHS grow (@#CannapediaProGrowersCup Orange Hill that very sadly went hermie on him) that nutrition in this phase could have had an influence, after asking what happened to him. I would have loved to see that grow to full harvest. But it makes me a bit cautious. if Haoss (whom I consider to be one of the star growers here) couldn't prevent this, what chance have I?
I'm waiting until the girls start asking for nutrients. They'll show me what they need in their own time. For now this soil is the shizzle (also quite literally) and Im happy with how everything is going. I remember much more hassle and steering in the last grow. This grow, even the Gorilla runt seems happy.
I now water them 3 liters of water / Perma tea mixture every 4 days, every 3rd watering I don't do the tea. This makes for fewer gnats and this soil seems to hold water nicely, also due to the hydro corn.
What I like is there is always some unforeseen circumstance, a tilt of the tables, some battle to be fought which delivers in big harvests or, in worst case, no harvest at all. It makes it more exciting, when your heart is at stake, we pour a lot of love and attention in the ladies.
So with hopes, but not too high, we go into flowering. Thank you all for joining me again in this Orange adventure! I hope you all had great weeks, germed seeds, extreme growth and buds bursting with trichomes!! See you next week!
Hug Bud
PS Sunshine made her first appearance, as she promised on the Gelato 33 grow. She is still a bit camera shy, so her digital alter makes an appearance first, if you all want to see more of her and my other helpers, let me know in the comments. Sunshine will make a real appearance if yall are real nice to her.

Day 42, start of flowering week 3: they are growing nicely, had to do a lot of defoliation on each plant, except the one in the 3L pot.
Day 43, I started to discover that the roots are coming out aggressively from the bottom of the pot. I did not move the ones in the back, but I guess same thing.
The one in the 3L pot doesn't have this problem.
Day 45: getting really excited for these guys! I'm trying to keep the temp and humidity low, and I hope I can achieve some of the purple color :P any advice on that?
day46: defoliaton

Day 65, 14th of November 2020:
Amazing week....
RQS Wedding Gelato does not strech a lot and pistils coming out nicely....
Original Sensible Seeds has amazing gentics they are so strechy except Black Ghost OG, rest of them crazyyyyyyy..... I also broke two of the sides from Gelato Original Sensible Seeds but fixed with tape and now all good lol 🤣🤣🤣
Pre flowers out and I really hope they stop growing lol.
I also noticed that the Original Sensible Seeds strains have nice purple colours of the fan leave's stem.
All the same fertilization happens every 2nd day with the mix above and ratio.
One more thing:
I set the lamp 15 minutes shorter to switch off earlier so they receive 11:45 of darkness. I would like to imitate the nature when longer nights come with time till the 4th week (when they will receive 13 hours darkness a day 15 minutes minus 4 times = 1hour) so every week 15 min longer darkness for 4 weeks and then back to 12/12 to have bigger buds from the 4th week....

Plants are doing nicely on their own. I have learned to be more hands-off and let them take their own pace. I check soil dryness every few days and add water/nutrients when dry past my first knuckle. Sticking with the same nutrient mix as it seems to be doing the trick. If you watch the timelapse, you'll see a moment of panic when the reflector fell over onto Cheecha. But, in the long run, what doesn't kill them seems to be making them stronger. Cheecha is now almost the same height as her sister Chonga. We're in Fall now, so the room is getting a little cooler, but above 70 degrees F. Humidity is also starting to drop a bit too.
