The apparent potassium deficiency has got me worried about how to get some into the plants ASAP. Therefore, I have purchased some Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster, courtesy of Amazon Prime! Sadly, this seems to be of inorganic nature. However, I need to rectify the issue quickly, so this seemed the best option. Another possibility is light burn, as the plants have grown as tall as my tent! 6ft! So I have turned down the lighting to 60%. This seems quite likely as my FBP2 is considerably shorter than FBP1 and FBP3, and this plant does not have the same issues. The new dehumidifier has managed to get the RH down to around 49%. Considering it was up to 99% this week. I definitely am trying my best to avoid the dreaded bud rot! I added a large amount of Silica as the stems are decreasing in strength under the weight, so hopefully that will help. Additionally a Potassium deficiency itself can cause weaker stems, so I'm trying everything, (possibly overkill) to correct my oversights on this. All in all I've learnt many things from this 1st grow. Most importantly the necessity of LST, to prevent the plants from getting so tall, and that will avoid the light stress. The trichomes are still mostly clear through the jewellers loupe. From what I can tell as my eyesight isn't too good. It's difficult to tell milky from clear to me. 21.8.24; I just did a defoliation, I removed many more leaves today 🍃 things are getting super crowded in the 4x4, even with both tent doors open. I adjusted the plants, alternating so that each side of each plant gets correct lighting (as best I can manage)! I gave the plants each; *1ml in 1ltr of dechlorinated water, of Ecothrive Flourish. **2ml in 1ltr of dechlorinated water of Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster. ****2ml in 1ltr of dechlorinated water, of Cal-Mag. My fan also broke, so I moved my lounge fan into the grow room. It's a lot more powerful, even on the lowest setting, so I tried to disperse it trying as best as possible. Thanks for reading my diary 🙂

23.-30.07. Die Woche verging wie im Fluge. Strawberry Haze Auto duftet mittlerweile sehr fruchtig mit Zitrusnoten. Die Blüten schwellen nach einem krassen Stretch an. Das intensive LST und das Entfernen störender Blätter hat dazu geführt, dass die Blüten sehr gleichmäßig Sonnenlicht bekommen und später in der Blüte die Luft gut zirkulieren kann. Zwei Tage der Woche standen die Pflanzen unter der Markise, es hat über Stunden heftig geregnet. Das Gießen läuft wie gewohnt nach Gefühl. An heißen Sonnentagen bis zu 1,5 Liter.

The Apple Betty babies are doing great 😊 I’m very pleased with the results so far, I just wished I would have known they would have such a large stretch, they D almost doubled in size in 14 days. At day 8 I stopped tucking the branches and allowed them to grow up. In hindsight, I probably should have kept going for another couple of days. They continued to stretch rapidly all the way up to date 12 or so, much more than my other strain that I have going as well. At day 10 I cleaned up some of the small bud sites and leaves that were below the 1st trellis. These sites do not get enough light to make anything good, and take away energy from the main tops as they grow and compete. A quick snip here and there will really help the end result. At day 13 I decided to add a second trellis net to provide support to the tops that came up so fast. They seem to have stopped their main stretch faze, and are looking happy and healthy now. I’ve continued my water, water, feed schedule and have not seen any cause for concern. The girls are taking a little over a gallon of water every 72 hours at this point. Humidity is being controlled automatically with my in-line fan and humidifier. RH is set to 57% and temps hover between 77-80 degrees with lights on, and about 70-72 with light off thanks to my furnace being back on for the cooler temps. The 2x4 5 gallon girl is doing great as well. 😊During the stretch, she flourished just as the girls in my big tent did as well. She is going to have some great bud, the branch structure is nicely developed with tight node spacing and large tops. I’ve been plucking off all the lower growth, and tucking leaves as they block bud sites. I will be doing a defoliation next week. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

In dieser Phase haben beide Pflanzen – 24K Gold und Gelato 33 – stark an Volumen gewonnen. Das Wachstum ist dicht und gesund, und die ersten Trainingstechniken zeigen klare Wirkung. Bei 24K Gold wurde ein gezieltes Topping durchgeführt, um die Seitentriebe zu fördern und ein flaches, gleichmäßiges Blätterdach zu formen. Die Pflanze reagierte stressfrei und zeigt bereits neue, kräftige Triebspitzen. Die internodale Abstände bleiben kompakt, die Blätter sind groß und tiefgrün – ein Hinweis auf starke Photosyntheseleistung. Gelato 33 wurde leicht gebunden (LST), um die Haupttriebe nach außen zu lenken und mehr Licht in die Mitte zu bringen. Das Resultat ist ein schön offenes Wachstum mit vielen gleichwertigen Triebspitzen. Ihr Aufbau bleibt kompakt, die Blätter sind breit und fleischig – typisch für die Indica-Dominanz dieser Genetik. Die Tropfbewässerung läuft konstant, und das Canna Coco A + B Schema wurde auf 4 ml/l erhöht. EC liegt bei etwa 1.4, pH bei 5.8–5.9. Die Pflanzen reagieren ideal auf die Dosierung, keine Anzeichen von Überdüngung oder Lockout. Klimabedingungen stabil: 🌡️ Temperatur ~25 °C 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit ~60 % 💨 Luftzirkulation gut – Ventilator sorgt für kräftige Stämme Beide Pflanzen wirken vital, aufrecht und voller Energie. Das Fundament für das spätere ScroG-Netz ist gelegt. 24K Gold zeigt kräftige Vertikalpower – Gelato 33 besticht durch ihre symmetrische, buschige Struktur. Ein sehr erfolgreicher Abschnitt in der Veg-Phase – Training, Nährstoffversorgung und Wurzelentwicklung sind perfekt im Einklang

Fruity Freak 2 and 3 are 57” tall and 48” across. They are both shedding any remaining premature flowers and sugar leaves. Their re-veg / pre-flower stretch looks like it is slowing, so they should be showing flowers soon. The top four branches that had been LST’d have sprouted new shoots along the branches, and it looks like there will be several apical bud sites, which is great! Additionally, the growth tips on those four branches have now split into multiple shoots since the re-veg. It is also interesting to look at these plants as a whole–there are no secondary branches on any of the lower branches, so no need to prune! They also have a nice open shape that permits plenty of airflow. So, despite my delayed and reactive pruning/training, the plants look like they have great potential. I went ahead and took a video of them as it is hard to really capture them in pictures. Fruity Freak 1 is up to 45”. She’s currently a backup plan, so if everything goes well, it is unlikely I will need any of her yield. Fruity Freak E’s clone is taking off, now 14”, up 5” from last week. I received my Mono-Potassium Phosphate this week and designed a new fertilizer blend using it. Now that these plants are about to flower, I am discontinuing the use of the liquid 4-10-3 fertilizer as it has a small amount of Auxin in it. The new recipe is: Mono Potassium Phosphate - 0.5 grams per gallon Potassium Nitrate - 1.36 grams per gallon Soy hydrolysate - 3.52 grams per gallon (Which still hits my targets of 160 ppm N, 30 ppm P, and 175 ppm K) I will update the nutrient section once I have a good guess for tsp/gal conversion.

Finally got the RDWC system complete and the girls are in and under the LEDs. Started with the LED light elevated higher than recommended; didn't want to cause light burn. About mid week I bumped the TDS up to 350 and lowered the light elevation to 18 inches and they responded very well.

Hello 👋🏻 Readers, The triplets are coming along very nicely😀 I've been keeping the RH roughly around 34% in day time and 45-48% at night. Last Sunday night(march 26th) upon one of my visit into the grow room to check the RH % i was received by and strong pungent berry/skunk mix odour... It almost brought tears to my eyes😁 So i have been using the intake fan since and also it helps keeping the Humidity down to the proper flowering appropriate range, also i still keeping the room's window cracked open during daytime with some fresh cold Canadian CO2(air) coming in and that way the temperature doesn't rises to high in the grow tent. To help allege the numerous trips into the grow room to verify the Humidity and Temperature I ordered online a WiFi humidity/temperature control sensor system, which at first is for mainly being able to verify to humidity and temperature levels with the app on my phone😅 order is out for delivery as i am writing this weekly update😁 News from the clones, they're out of the grow tent as of Friday, potted them in coco and perlite for now and trying to get them to back at VEG as them tiny buggers flipped and have tiny pistils on and top leaf turned black, since I don't have a back up tent nor a grow light i am switching them from the kitchen in the morning and dining room on afternoon....😂😅 Hopefully they'll restart VEG🤞🏻 That all said ... thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoy the pictures and the video. Feel free to leave a comment and hit the like button and wish you all a great week and keep on growing!! 👊🏻😃

9/29/2022 - 49 days since my little girl sprouted from seeds🌱 The third week of flowering of my Orange Sherbet 🍨🍨🍨 Nutrients: Jungle Indabox - I serve the same as last week Advanced Nutrientiens - Bud Candy - carbohydrates for my plants 🍭🍭 Bud Stimulators 🌼🌼🌼: Jungle Indabox Environ X Advanced Nutrientiens - Big Bud remains unchanged I no longer serve Bud Ignitor ATAMI - ATA CALMAG - When growing under LED lights it is recommended to use Calmag and Atami is an excellent brand Plants tolerate nutrients well, sometimes a small spot appears on the leaves, but this is not a nutrient burn Training: LST - Just a little training, I tied some twigs to the edge of the flower pot with string so that they don't shine on each other 🌞🌞 Defoliation: I mainly remove large leaves so they don't shade the flowers and I also cut off the lower leaves. The plant will thus have more power to put energy into the buds 🍃🌸🌸 General: The branches of the plant grow symmetrically, it has many blooms, the stems are strong and healthy, the leaves correspond to the age and stage of the plant, it responds well to nutrients 🌾🌾 Light: Really awesome Mars Hydro TS 1000 sponsor light 💡💡 Smell: The girls really smell, this one smells sweet, very fruity 🍇🍊 Thank you for your opinions, smile and fun with my diary, you can follow me on Twitter 🐦: @ targona666 See you soon 😍

These photos were taking yesterday and I meant to post than but here we are. They seem to be doing well, growth seems to be picking up a bit but I've noticed slight burns and I think I just started nutrients a little bit too early. A new addition to the tent is a 4th seed I planted today, I'm goign to breed the best female and male, hopefully I get two females and one male but well see.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cosecha de estas Wedding cheesecake Fast Flowering, de FastBuds. Por dónde empezar, las flores son bien compactas , y van repletas de resina, tienen tonos por dentro muy bonitos, y tiene un aroma súper dulce aunque engañar engaña porque saber sabe más tropical y cremosa. Es muy sencilla de cultivar, es de ciclo bastante corto aunque también si le dais una semana más no pasa nada agradecer se agradece al final.

The pictures speaking for themselves...added some plants that would go to seed after being cross bred with Khalifa Kush. This week onward the girls would be fed black strap molasses for taste and big bud.

The growth and appetite of these two plants has increased proportional to the airflow increase. The BHB is drinking 4 liters a day, the CBD, 2 liters. Every second day is a feeding. EC drops by approximately 2-3 points every 48 hours. PH rises from 5.5 to 5.8-5.9 every 24-48 hours. CBD's issue was Magnesium. Added Epsom salts to the res and issue is no more. Both plants are stacking very well and the CBD has now caughtup to the BHB's height. CBD is at 66 cm while the BHB holds steady at 70.
