Week 8 Update: Transition to Flowering 🌸✨
🌟 The Flowering Stage Begins 🌟
Welcome to Week 8! Big changes are happening in the grow room. This week marks the official switch from the vegetative stage to the flowering stage. With the light schedule now adjusted to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness, the plants are entering the crucial phase where all the hard work of vegetative growth will start to pay off in the form of buds.
🌼 Flowering Transition 🌼
Light Schedule:
The light schedule has been reduced to 12 hours on and 12 hours off, which signals the plants to begin flowering.
I'm aiming to maintain a Daily Light Integral (DLI) of around 40 to optimize bud development.
Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze 🌞
Responding quickly to the light change, with the first signs of pre-flower pistils emerging.
The even canopy from LST will help the plant distribute energy effectively to multiple bud sites.
Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush 🌿
This compact, bushy plant is beginning to show signs of entering the flowering stage.
Its strong structure is set to support what should be a dense, resinous bud formation.
Blueberry Muffin 🥞
Continuing to exhibit robust growth, with the first signs of transition into flowering.
The dense frame developed during veg should result in a productive flowering stage.
🌱 Continuing Care 🌱
As the plants transition, I'll be adjusting their care to support this new phase:
Nutrient Adjustment: Shifting to a flowering-focused nutrient schedule with increased phosphorus and potassium to support bud formation, while gradually reducing nitrogen.
Environmental Control: Monitoring and adjusting temperature and humidity to ideal levels for flowering, ensuring the environment promotes healthy bud development.
Training & Defoliation: Continuing LST and selective defoliation to maintain an even canopy and improve light penetration to lower bud sites.
🌸 Looking Forward 🌸
The plants are now in the flowering stage, and this is where the real magic happens. Over the next few weeks, we'll start to see bud sites develop and eventually swell into full, aromatic flowers. I'll be closely monitoring the plants to ensure they have everything they need for a successful bloom.
Stay tuned for next week's update as we dive deeper into the flowering phase!
Happy growing! 🌸💚

I started picking for forbidden fruits the day after last week’s post, checking the colas with the scope and only picking tops that were approx 10-20% amber.
As I snipped colas I also removed a lot of upper fan leaves, this is to allow light to reach lower buds for a final ripening.
Once picked, I placed approx 100g in each brown paper bag, folded the top and sat on a rack. I slowly rolled the bags around once or twice a day just so the buds didn’t stick together. Seems to have worked well, no dreaded hay smell to note and nicely dried.
I think I’ll be taking some more colas tops off in a few days time and I’ll keep the plants alive for another week or two, depending on how fast they come along.
I have 4 Mimosa EVO (no diary) about 7 weeks into veg at the moment and I think it would be nice to give them another 2 weeks as I need big plants to make clones from them, ready for the next diary coming soon... hopefully with successfully taken clones 😊

Week -3 of flowering Stage
91 Octane is massive and looking the forming of her pistals and trichromes is very satisfying.
Banana Daddy is also starting her blooming phase you can see her pistals in the video.
The last Sugae Cane lates in flowering. She still doesn’t sign or start to see no pistals but she grow healthy and happy.

WEEK 1 of flower. This is insanely quick, veg for three weeks and on week 4 we are flowering strong.
It is raining a lot, so i had to use a top dressing, ingredients on the week 3, to manage the soil nutrients till the end of the cycle. About two table spoons.
Watering once a week, with the mix above, otherwise rain is taking care of them, very natural as a grow, nothing much complicated, no science fiction with fertilizer or chemistry.
I’m curious about the yield, and how much can i pull out of this way, with minimal work and a nearly inert soil. Let’s see how this experiment turns out.

Days 42 through 49 of flower and all three Phenos are expressing themselves differently. Pheno #1 continues to express darkened fan leaves almost purple and much more frosty than her sisters. Pheno #2 is the other end of the spectrum remaining green, but less frost. Pheno #3 seems to be a mix of the other two and its fan leaves are turning colors of autumn. Those are my visual observations as we head into week 8 of flower with harvest just around the corner.
No nutrients or grow techniques used during week 7 flower. Other than a watering to saturation on day 42, I really haven't done anything other than observing and maintaining health of plant. For me, that involves tracking VPD to ensure optimal plant performance. Able to track VPD with recent upgrade to the AC Infinity Cloudline Pro fan system. The integrated environmental controls managed on my smart phone has been a game changer. So, happy that I made the upgrade.
Thanks again for stopping by and checking out the diary.

Day 30 for this girl, shes doing pretty well. Very nice structure due to plant training early in veg, a little bit of HST to keep the height down. Shes smelling quiet a bit now but has undergone a lot of stress although she is not showing it. Growing daily and cant wait to see what this girl has to give me. Very happy with her overall growth. I'll be back with an update soon. Stay tuned for now. FlavoursUK

This plant has been doing great, when I am in working with it it releases lovely peppery notes into the air. It has a super short compact structure I'm curious to see what it will be like in stretch.
Still giving them a 2:1 or 2.5:1 grow vs bloom nutrient. Its helping with some of the pink stems from last week. Feeding strength is up .2 point to reach 900ppm or aorund 1.8EC will leave it here fro the remainder of Veg. Prob will do for 2 more weeks then flip to flower as I just topped them and want to give them some time to recover.
NPK ratio of 7-7-14 1:1 equal parts grow/bloom.
Grow=8-4-15
Bloom=6-10-14
Boost=1-15-30 "not yet used it yet"
Also took some clones from the plants as well, took two main cuttings from each plant, forgot to do the one so its not shown in the first video up the updated clone pics later in the week. If any of these impress me then the clones will go outside and grow there all year for a extra special harvest. Or I'll give them out to some friends and family maybe a little gorilla gardening project, but I will wait before getting ride of them all as I'm still kicking my self in the ass over the Blue Cindy loss. really liked that plant and wish its clones I gave out where still aorund.
Lights doing well. The V1 spectrum is good on the medic grow mini sun-2's 240w. No issues so far, dimmed at 80% till flower is initiated then up to 100%, Will test out 13/11 I think as the schedule to give them some more photons for an extra hour vs 12/12
.
Till next week.

All caught up with the old diaries and can finally start focusing on the new grow... and it´s been smooth sailing so far! 😎
Waiting on a few supplies to make some upgrades to the ventilation of the tent, but nothing critical.. 😉
Lights at 30% for 24h until cotyledons opened and switched to 18h/6h reducing the distance from 100 to 80 cm. 😊
Weather is changing... temps are fine but I´m keeping an eye on humidity levels, turning the humidifier on and off according with the light schedule to stabilize it at 70%. Averaging for the week 22,6ºC and 69,7% 😍
Lets go! ✊

Both plants getting their first day of bloom spectrum lighting, red spectrum dominant. Already seeing signs of flowering on Plant A - the transition into flower must have been perfect. Otherwise, this plant might be an autoflower? DLI on canopy top around 30-32. Lights set to 70% intensity.
Reduced lung room humidity to 50% target. Lots of rain lately and the dehumidifier is working hard to keep up with 60-80% outdoor humidity. Tent humidity is hanging out around 60-65%
9/2/2024
Checking over both plants and doing light defoliation of larger fan leaves. Looking for more pre-flower signs on Plant B. Small nodules appearing on plant B. slightly odd formations compared to plant A. I will be keeping a close eye on this over the next few days.
Water level issues from last week are well within control. Since the fix was implemented the system requires about 2 fewer gallons to keep the system cycling as intended. Continuing to top the reservoir with fresh nutrient water with about 1 gallon of water per day. Still have not conducted a water change from the system. I will be planning one here closer to the end of this week when I have a little bit more free time at home.
9/3/2024
Plant A has a few signs of natural varieagation on fan leaves. Also found this cool leaf formation on a few of the larger fan leaves (see picture above). Plant B pre-flower signs still look odd, but monitoring closely.
9/6
Plant B still unconfirmed as a female. Preflower expressions are looking slightly more female, but no hairs yet. Both plants are looking healthy and doing well! The flow issues with the return line was due to a root mass making its way into the line and getting stuck. I was able to pump it out with some suction. Flow is completely returned and both buckets, back to stress free hydro for a few more days :D

Buenos días gente linda, segunda semana de floración en exterior, todo el ciclo de vegetación pasaron en tienda de cultivo y la semana pasada la saque al patio para que toda la floración la hagan afuera, por ahora va de maravilla, como salgo de viaje por trabajo viene a regarla otra persona que me ayuda y no siempre le mide el PH y aun así la planta va super bien, definitivamente es una genética muy fuerte 💪

The plant continues to develop very evenly, with a strong main cola and many well-formed side branches carrying healthy bud sites.
Bud stacking has clearly started, and the structure now looks set, with little to no additional stretch expected.
Purple tones are becoming more pronounced in the calyxes while resin production is steadily increasing across the canopy.
Overall the plant looks vigorous and balanced, showing great yield potential as it moves deeper into the flowering phase.

Hello growers,
as I mentioned last week, La Bomba was left alone in the coop and she’s doing amazing. I’m just watering now and waiting for the right moment to harvest. The aroma is incredible, somewhere between a sweet profile and that loud gassy fuel, a truly unique combination. I gently spread her branches with a few strings so the light can reach the lower buds. The buds are hard and the whole plant looks beautiful.
Peace and happy growing ✌️
