We just finished week 8 and things are looking great. The plant that was a little late flowering (plant in the back left corner) has stretched up and is now at the top of the canopy. I've noticed these plants are a little bit sensitive to nutrients and don't like being over fed. They have been a very low maintenance group of plants so far though. They stretched out nicely allowing plenty of airflow and light penetration so I haven't had to do very much leaf tucking or plant training, which is exactly what I wanted for this grow!

I did an extended vegetation on these girls and I topped them a couple of times, to which they responded well. It is day 127 (18 weeks total), but only end of Week four of flowering. They are looking beautiful and very nice size, considering they are only about half way through flowering.

Flush ended two days before the darkness period. Decided on a 48 darkness periods though some prefer 24 or 72. The darkness did help trichomes reappear at the tops of the canopy. Going for a longer dry of 10 days, best temperatures are 60-70F to preserve the terps with 50-60RH. This has been an amazing experience, definitely putting in more passion into the next run.

Wow. They are very crystallized now. Buds are fattening up every day. Lots of orange hairs and milky trichromes. Plan to go to 8 weeks if I can and flush week nine. Will see how they go but so far so good.

July 7, 2020 update... Houston... We have lift off!!! Flowering has officially begun with all four ladies. The actual heights of the 4 ladies is as follows 24" & 26" (indoors) and 21" & 24" (outdoors). The indoor plants are also much bushier and have more nodes. The outdoor plants are looking more like old school autos just focusing on a main central cola. I gave all of the ladies a LST bend and tied them down at a 45 degree angle. This is to allow better light penetration to the lower bud sites and usually results in several branches producing fat colas, not just the top. I am starting to see some bug damage on the outdoor girls. I have been trying to use companion planting of Basil, Chives, Spearmint, and Oregano as natural bug deterrents, but that's not working as well as I had hoped. I also sprayed them once with Safer End-All. Its OMRI listed and recommended by 'The Rev' of Skunk Magazine and True Living Organic fame. I'd prefer not to spray them again, especially as they get farther into flower. Any suggestions for keeping bugs away from my girls would be appreciated - hit me up in the comments. 👍

This girl is coming along really nicely I'm really pleased with how she had turned out for my first ever grow. I have noticed this week she is starting to get a lot more of purple colour to her stem and branches she looks amazing. Her buds are are looking really frosty and are nicely dense I can't wait to try them! This week I have started the full flush by doing a full reservoir change to just water at ph 6.2 - 6.5 and will continue to add just water untill harvest. Happy growing 🌱

Everything was fine this week, the plant looks very happy and healthy.

Last little watering for another week or less Then we pullllllllllllll :) Small foliage cut here again … all big fan leaves trimmed just about.

day22 video. now adding more pk booster than earlier weeks, should be done week 7-8 we will see day23 I start adding more pk, still will 4x more pk now. Some nice pics today, videos of each, frost on fan leafs, no issues other than pros: bridal frost on fan leafs+sugar, cons 6ft tall. I think I should have pumped more pk earlier into flower/pre Its cool. Adding 2tbsp soluble pk into 5gal vs quarter tbsp in beginning 22 days ago. I am feeding soluble pk, +3 pk soil conditioners and carbs every day. There is no water day. day 25 stacking up. been spraying old cs I made 3ish years ago to test, works on unrooted so I may potential cross. Bridal starting to smell like a mix between fresh watermelon, and lemon+lime or a citrus aroma.

its branches are too heavy for their buds in the open air ... I found some worms in it. but. I will give 1 more week and it will be ready....

2/26: Harvested both Black Jacks and both Gorilla Girls tonight. They got a rough live trim, then chopped, washed, and hung to drip dry. Big, heavy, frosty buds on all 4 of them!👍 3/2: Still drying in the closet...amazing aromas!

2 of the 6 plants in this series got left behind in veg due to lack of space in the flower tent from the auto run. Should be able to harvest those in a few days to bring the last 2 in to flower. Have had the flu this week and haven’t gave much attention or love to the ladies as I’d like. 5 gallon pots are kinda sucking too. Really wanting to do a 4x4 bed to improve everything and better compost as mine has thrips … don’t trust people on Facebook marketplace… even with there website/ company .. totally screwed my base living soil mixture up.

Last leaf trim. Hopefully there's enough light getting to the lower bud sites now. Upped the bloom feed a little and turned on the secondary fan. Started to get a couple wet leaves where they were touching. I set up another tent too. 😬😬

Per adesso tutto ok, oltretutto le sta guardando un altra persona e sta facendo un buon lavoro, nonostante sia la sua prima volta Ovviamente le do io le direttive giuste, così evita i miei stessi errori delle prime volte

12/15: Some plants are taking too long to transition and stretching beyond my space constraints, so I dialed the photoperiod back to 12/12. 12/16: Fed today and rotated edge plants. Added another 150w of 3000k below the canopy. 12/17: Worked on ventilation...no A/C necessary now, as I'm using another AC Infinity 6" fan to intake outdoor air into the closet whenever temps reach 75f..and it's been cold as hell outside.👍 The final trick will be to replace the 6" exhaust fan with an 8" so as to be able to fully exchange the closet air faster ...but that's gonna have to wait til next season.

[Day 10] 7/07/21 periodically playing various music and nature sounds, adding more crystals and just watching the plants grow...👽 [Day 11] 7/09/21 lowered the lights from 30" to 24" - 21,000 lux [Day 12] 7/10/21 lowered the lights from 24" to 14" - 35,000 lux
