Aug 31: now done six weeks of flowering. Started force flowering by putting her in the dark garage for 10 h plus two hours of bonus darkness by using a 730 nm far red light at dusk as a bloom booster. After three weeks of moving in and out of garage I’ve just been using the red light at dusk. I use Civil Twilight as listed on dateandtime.com for my location. Civil Twilight is getting earlier by about 3 min per night and will be at 9 pm tonight. Awesome plant should be 2-3 weeks to finish and the weather forecast is perfect for next two weeks. Should be a strong finish, and we’re still in August. Awesome. Sep 1: flowers are huge and progressing quickly. The top buds seemed to change colour a bit today. Overnight temperatures are still above 10 C so no purple colour showing yet. Maybe right at the end in a couple of weeks she’ll show some extra colour. Sep 3: buds are getting big, dense and sticky. Perfect. Sep 4: flash pics are okay if using the 730 nm far red light right after. If you don’t have a red light, don’t take flash pics of your photoperiod plants. Nice big buds are quite hard too. Very nice. #seedsman420growoff #seedsmanseeds

Day 15 🌱 everything is going well but I have accidentally decapitated N1, in reality I had topping already N3 but with N1 I broke without doing it on purpose. hope for the best. Day 16🌱 wow today N1 I see it well it does not seem to have accused the topping. everything seems to be going well for N3 too, he seems to be growing very strong. N2 is in excellent condition. Day 18 🌱 i am struggling a bit with "lst" but i guess because i started early. otherwise they seem to be growing well Day 20 🌱 I let them rest for two days. some training again today, they look fit and grow great. Day 21🌱 N1 and N3 grow great and look great. N2 grows well but has yellowed leaf tips as if I had given too much fertilizer, I think due to the pre-fertilized soil. Now I continue with water and I will check the drain ph Thanks for viewing. if you like my diary leave a like and a comment. come back to see me 🎂 good cultivation and good day💚🌱

This strain was an absolute gem to grow. Had no issues along the way and probably my biggest yield to date.

The Specials continue to flower like nobodys business while the Purples are still slow in their reaction to the change in lighting. Despite the similar names these two strains do not seem to accompany each other well. I cant see how the special will not bee ready for harvest at least two weeks prior to the Purples, but we will see. At least the purples are picking up on the stretch a little so they may not fall too much behind the specials. Doesnt matter, by now I got almost every plant standing on its on little something to get an even canopy. Also noticed a faint sweet/creamy smell developing, going in a good direction. This weeks feeding schedule (and also a bit next week) sees a slow change from grow to bloom nutrients. I perform that change a little faster on the Specials, as they are actually already making flowers.

They are blooming!! Nice white hairs are showing off the centre and they have start creating a “budd”, I don’t really know since im a newbie but the leave colours are perfect, no excess or anything else shown since im watering with the correct PH Both are truly beautiful, i think next time i will choose a single plant and treat it the beat i can, exposing her to anything i just learned here I thought aswell that i could afford some “top candy” or “top bloom” but I don’t really know if it will improve a lot or if its worth the money Better air flow during days due to new big fan working

This week the Jack Herer has exploded. The branches have become dense, swollen buds with lots of pistils that are turning orange. The smell has become much more intense and citrusy, however, I think it is further along that it should be. So far this seedling is growing nicely. I hope it continues like this

Hello everyone! this week, I had to do defoliation all the same .. on that girl I was not going to touch .. the fact is that there were a lot of leaves .. too many .. it was difficult for the plant to breathe .. in short, I did defolation and also took advantage of the fact that the plant itself made a topping))) and with the help of the LST I took 2 central branches to the sides .. from today I will decrease the light regime gradually .. I hope this will help the plants show their gender as soon as possible ..

The weather was sunny and hot this week and the plants grew pretty well even if they have long and thin stems. The roots reached the bottom of the pot for most of them. The Gorilla Punch and the Pound Cake have developped some tiny lateral branches. The Gorilla Punch already have some pistils. So far, the most developped plants are Gorilla Punch and Pound Cake, followed by Orange Sherbet and Apricot. The Apricot stem is thinner than the other ones. Maybe due to its tougher start. Parameters : ------------------------------------------- Humidity range : 30-65% depending on the sun Temperature range : 20-30°C depending on the sun SUN Average : sunny Plants heights at the end of the week : ------------------------------------------- Apricot : 16.5 cm Gorilla Punch : 17 cm Orange Sherbet : 15.5 cm Pound Cake : 18.5 cm

Esta cosecha fue muy buena con excelentes resultados de flores muy compactas y demasiado resinosas , la genética en sí es muy resinosa con olor muy característico , con sabores terrosos muy marcados .

Black Opium is looking faat! These colas are beasts. I'm enjoying this plant very much 😁 I definitely need to stake some more of the plant as the buds are too heavy to support the flowers. Absolutely beautiful plant, buds are super heavy, what's not to love! Here is what I did this week. 12.9.25: I watered with 2.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 with; 💜 5ml Trace 💜 5ml Flourish PH: 6.5 PPM: 335 16.9.25: I watered with 4L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 with; 💜 5ml Trace 💜 1 TSP Biosys PH: 6.5 PPM: 316 The fungus gnats have really incresed since I did a watering of the whole tent. I have some more sticky traps set out, and I will not water for several days. Once it has dried the top soil, I will add some more Diatomaceous Earth to the top 5cm. Thank for checking in this week, best of luck to everybody participating in the contest! Have fun, keep growing, see you in the comments 😁 💚 ✌️ 🧡 👌

9/5 PREVENTATIVE SPRAY OF 1TBSP POTASSIUM BICARBONATE AND 1/4 TBSP DAWN TO TREAT WPM. Foggy this morning and rained again last night. Weather hasn't been the greatest. Not seeing much PM unless it advanced so much that it just killed all the leaves. I still have yellowing leaves that die. It's probably septoria and I probably should've used a copper fungicide but I'm in flower. Ice cream cake and a couple seedlings are far behind but everything else seems like it will finish. This weather has been getting me down. I may feed later today or I might wait until tomorrow. I also need to add a few more supports. Wet buds are heavy. I'm getting there. Slowly but surely. 9/6 FED TWO GALLONS TO GARDEN PLANNED TO USE BEASTIE BLOOM BUT COULD ONLY FIND CHA CHING. Rained heavy all night. I came back to hanging branches but no damage. I added some supports quickly and tied up a hanging branch. Ran a couple strings across the frame but I have more work to do. I took some pics and a video. At least now I'm seeing buds. Walking down there is like getting slapped in the face with a wet bud (which happened today). It's a super strong smell. Trichomes are developing at various stages. This is when things get paranoid but it's also fun. I can't wait until fall. 9/7 Plants we're wet this morning so I gave them a good shake. Defoliated what needed it and added a couple more supports. I don't like these leaves falling like this. Didn't have time to work on the ice cream cake that's growing into the fence. Now it's a race with the weather. Things are looking pretty good but I'm getting antsy. Also I'm not sure what caused all this weird damage from earlier and if I should just cut off useless branches. I'm hesitant as I don't want to create an open wound for more fungal infections. 9/8 Rained like crazy. Super heavy at times. I added a video I took yesterday. and took some pictures. Defoliated some dead stuff but it's hard to work in the pouring rain. Forecast said three inches. Plants are booming thoughgh 9/9 Still raining. Hard. No damage. Defoliated what I could and added supports where needed. I do need to say the plants I'm growing are some resilient girls. They've taken a beating and come back kicking butt. If we can get a few good days in a row shit will really start taking off. Need to spray BT and do another k bicard spray or switch it up with peroxide. I've checked the tops of my plants with a ladder and things look good so far. I'm super excited. 9/10 Poured like crazy. I fucked my diary up a bunch of times so I'll probably have to upload vids/pics again. Cannabis gods heard my cries and at noon time it's all sunshine. Was able to defoliate what needed it. Plants are just exploding. I'll do pics tomm. BT and K Bicarb spray needed. YEAH IM MISSING A BUNCH OF PICS AND A VIDEO. WILL HAVE TO FIX LATER 9/11 Beautiful sunny day. Found my beastie bloom and fed two gallons to the garden. I started low but I'll increase if it seems to benefit. Continued with only 1tbsp of grow big. Then if I like it I'll move on to cha ching. One plant will be ready VERY shortly. I took out my scope to check things out. In the bright sun ours easy to spot little pm patches. Oh well. I'll spray tonight. Everything looks so amazing. Also found more moth eggs it's time for a BT spray. Defoliated and added more supports as it's windy af out here

Cruising along. Two gorilla girls are very sativa pheno and are way behind in maturation. We will see how I will handle that. Some #indica leaning phenos are maturing nice and fast. I'm reducing EC to 1.4 gradually. I think some of them will have to be on plain water next week to have them ready for harvest. Cheers everyone! Have a nice Sunday! 😎
