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

So despite many obstacles and hurdles, we are on the last week of flowering hopefully the heat stays down for the next few days, and I can get some color into these nugs the sativa Room may need a few more weeks no big deal. This is typical of sativa leaning strains. this will give me a bit of a stagger in between harvest so I don’t have to do all the work in one day which is a good thing .

because I fell behind last week, I had to much vegetation in the middle and under the canopy, I had to remove the net, omg, that was a 2 day hassle,but it is out, I have untwisted the branches, I'm am very lightly defoliating daily just a couple here and ther to try and get them thinned out so I can drop humidity, I have a 90 pint dehumidifier, and it has been on non stop and still can't bring my rh down, the smell is very sweet and fruity, very excited, they all look much better after getting them un clumped up, I'm aiming for a 9-10 week flower, and with it only being week 5, I am very excited.

I start immediately apologizing for not respecting the week in updating the diary, but with work and looking after the plants I had no time. Now it is the end and I have collected everything. The experiments with ice water went really well and the pollen yield has increased again. The plant is spectacular and I am very proud of my work and what I have achieved. The buds are very compact and smell really exaggerated. This BlackBerry I cleaned it all out of the excess leaves apart from the little sugary ones and left it in whole branches and hung it on a clothesline that I am leaving in a dark room with the values checked at least for the next week so that I can start a new cycle. But the smell is just too much!!!! Great FastBud and sure I'll be making more varieties soon. The monkey has now burrowed on my shoulder and the desire to try this delight is more and more.

July 19: first night of force flowering last night. Plants in dark garage at 9:30 pm and out again at 7:30 am for 10 h darkness. Also using 730 nm far red light at transition to dark which puts the plant into dark mode two hours faster so it’s like getting a 26 h day with 12 h of darkness. Force flowering for 2-3 weeks to make a solid transition into flowering and to get the buds ripening under the stronger summer sun. July 22: Foliar spray with Epsom salts and potassium silicate this morning. The magnesium in the Epsom salts seems to help with yellowing on the new growth. July 23: added another loose Scrog net layer. Tied to water bottles to open up the canopy to sunlight. July 25: watering yesterday included some water leftover over from steaming beets for dinner. That likely contained lots of N because beets are high in nitrate and the plants are very green this morning.

Que pasa familia, traemos la segunda semana de floración de nuestras crazy cookies y la verdad es que se ven sanas y vigorosas, ya comienzan a verse pelos y a formarse nuestras flores. Ph controlado 6,5 . Maximas de 28 y mínimas de 19, hemos cambiado la bombilla esta semana por una nueva de 400w HPS de sylvania. Veremos cómo avanzan la semana que viene.

Day 7 Veg: A great start for the ladies has been slowed slightly by leaving them a few days too long in their germination pots. I usually plant into the final.pot from seed bit uad to wait this time for space. They took a hit with transplant shock I think and a few deformed leaf sets have resulted. I think this will sort itself once the plants resettle bit with time being precious on autos , I hope its soon. One of the Banana Mash is a real mutant it seems with two odd looking leaves and a tiny bit of new node showing through. The Purple monkey are all doing very well so far and rhe transplant has not hit them so hard. i also think I have a mango cream growing from a seed that popped out of the mango crop I did. lets see. Be safe and free Growmies.

Greetings, fellow growers! Week 5 has brought us to a pivotal moment in our Anesia pheno hunt journey as we embark on the transformative process of topping our thriving beauties. Let's delve into the world of topping and explore the magic behind this essential technique. Topping is a fundamental aspect of plant training, involving the removal of the apical meristem, or main growth tip, to encourage lateral growth and bushier plant development. By snipping away the topmost growth, we redirect the plant's energy towards the lower branches, stimulating new growth and increasing overall yield potential. It's like giving our plants a strategic haircut, with the promise of fuller, more abundant foliage in return. But topping isn't just about increasing yield – it's also about promoting a more balanced and uniform canopy, ensuring that light penetration is maximized and no precious photons go to waste. With each well-placed snip, we're sculpting our plants into lush green masterpieces, ready to flourish under the glow of our Future of Grow LED lights. Speaking of lights, maintaining optimal environmental conditions is key to our plants' success. That's why we've raised our TDS to 420 and adjusted our pH to a precise 5.8 using our trusty Blue Lab Guardian monitor. This advanced monitoring system allows us to keep a close eye on nutrient levels and pH fluctuations, ensuring that our plants receive the perfect balance of nutrients for optimal growth and health. It's like having a guardian angel watching over our garden, guiding us towards horticultural excellence. And let's not forget the satisfying sight of water droplets glistening on freshly topped plants. These tiny droplets are more than just a visual treat – they serve as a gentle reminder of our care and attention to detail, ensuring that our plants receive the hydration they need to recover and thrive. It's a moment of zen in the midst of our bustling garden, a testament to the beauty of nature and the joys of cultivation. With each passing week, our Anesia pheno hunt grows more exciting, and I can't wait to see what the future holds. Stay tuned for more updates, more growth, and more green goodness as we continue to cultivate joy and growth together in our Green Oasis!

Not much happened recently, a nice smell has been developed, while the leaves are yellowed further. The buds are getting fatter, I reckon a couple of weeks left until chop.

I just cant get over how well things are going!!!! I've come so far in only 3 generations of plants! Today I did my FIRST DEFOLIATION EVER!!!!! It went so well!!! Shout out to Bill Ward for having some good views to brush up on! My first grow I didnt have enough leaves to defol and last grow I was to scared to lol. This time I made them my bitch!!!! It was EASY! NEVER BE AFRAID OF YOUR PLANTS!!!! I'm tinkering with the light so they aren't super happy atm. I turned on the exhaust and the Vaporizer. I also raised the light to 2ft and will try to consistently keep the light at that distance. I bumped up the nuets to 2ml. I'm a little lower than my schedule called for but i might bump it this week. Gonna watch the ladies! I tested the runoff and its 6.1, perfect. Starting to see how the plant is gonna look. __________________________________________________________________________________________ The plants came down with some spots. i did some reading and i came to the conclusion that they needed a bit more cal-mag. I also had noticed some of the newer growth had reddish stems too. I checked my discords and that's what they thought too!!! I was going to bump it anyway bc I've seen alot of diaries on here with ALOT more Cal-mag than me. Otherwise they look great! I got them out tonight for a light watering and noticed they had grown like 4or5 inches! Go Baby Go! __________________________________________________________________________________________ I fed them this evening and gave them a small haircut for some light penetration. I put a few spacers in that I printed and they seemed to help salvage my LST. I think the stakes dont hold up to the plant. Next Grow I will use wire. Still monitoring the leaves and while its slowly spreading I don't think I will see the effects of the extra calmag for a while. I have double downed on my videos, working on editing and hope to really develop my dairies! __________________________________________________________________ Things are going great as we wrap up the week. The plants are almost fighting for space in the tent, and i'm dialing in how much water the pots hold, I think this is the sweet spot size. Defoliated about 20 leaves, just a trim and tuck. I didn't do well at LST at all this round, i noticed all the main stems are ramrod straight, but using the spacers seems to be making the plants into pretty nice lil trees. I think the best part is right around the corner!!! Its about to get very pretty up in there!
