Bud looks good not a lot due to contaminated Coco media

📆 Semana 7: La Candy Bubatz XL avanza con fuerza en floración. Los cogollos se densifican y brillan con una capa creciente de tricomas, mientras el aroma dulce se vuelve más penetrante. La estructura sigue firme y la planta responde bien al plan de riego y nutrición, sin mostrar carencias ni estrés. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

This was a fun project that was a few years in the making and a year later to see if they would last a season for this upload to happen. Before any of this I would bike aorund town grabbing up all the old Ikea solid pine bed slats that I could find and storing them in the basement. I have a lot of wood down there, any size worked as long as I have enough of them. The hot days to find them were the first and last of the months because that's when people where moving in/out. I also kept an eye on the free section on local online classifieds as well. The entire purpose of this was to recycle as much off the streets as I could before buying anything to finalize the project. In the end I only bought sealer, screws and some takeaway/beers. All the wood was 100% free and salvaged off the streets of Toronto saving it from the dumpster bin. After collecting all the slats for about 2 years I was playing aorund with them on how I wanted to make this work. I had previously done a little project like this before but I messed it up and the boxes where crap. did not last longer then 2 seasons, they where thin and shallow as well could not grow much of anything in them. I Was talking to my friend who is renovating their house and we brainstormed some ideas on the boxes, I found some designs I liked online and said lets make something like this out of what I have here. We tossed out a few of the design features when looking at them as it would have been wasted wood and extra work not needed. If I had more wood them maybe it could have been an option but simple was the name of the game. They taught me what I needed to know like how the miter saw and sander worked, plus all the other tools I was using. They did help out with a table saw and creating the triangle support joints in the corners, They used some pine left overs they had while making a staircase indoors. I did not feel up to the task of using a table saw given all the relatives I know who have lost a finger to them. In the end we decided the design would be three boards high and take an alternating pattern on corners. layer one short, layer 2 long, layer 3 short. Went with a galvanized and painted deck screw so it can take the weathering. Ran into some problems like making everything level as some of the boards were warped and other ones had undesired aspects like knots and tacky sticker goo I could not remove. So I used them for the base that will not been seen so much. Clamped everything down and called it a day. Once it was all done and over with, I then brought them back home from my buddies work garage and started to seal them. I went with a boiled linseed oil as its a food safe option should the wood degrade into the soil I will plant in them. I will need to reapply it to the boxes year after year but the main coat is the most important one and I put it on 3 layers with a good dry in between coats. the inside of the boxes that where coated did not degrade at all as the sun did not hit them so it will not need a new coat just the outside. Overall the end result was very impressive for myself, I've never taken a woodworking class ever and It was a near perfect outcome for me. Heavy Duty Planter Boxes for all my gardening needs. I made a last min decision to add in a plastic liner to preserve the wood even longer and stapled that into the frame. it has held up quite well and may need replacing end of 2nd or 3rd year out in the sun. Used a thick moisture wrap plastic with UV protectors in its formula. Lets see what I can grow in them this year! m0use's haus of projects - garden box edition

Was a bit worried in the first weeks of flower as the buds formed early but... i was left with the most densest of buds literally hard like arnie in his terminator days lol! I didn’t quite get the amount I expected but defiantly enough! Will defo grow again! After time went on she developed so much frost literally like diamonds 💎 Resistance was very strong on this one too and drank so much more than the rest had to be smart with watering! I’m the end the result was as intended can’t wait for the next couple of weeks for the flavour to really come out but as of now really reminds me of skittles as you can taste the sweetness but also that cake 🍰 comes right through too and this is before a full cure. Happy growing buddies I say this one is a top one to grow! Added a few photos since cure! These buds are dense and colorful and fruity! Tastes like it smells until you get a lovely bit of cake come through! Heaven! High is full body literally one point I felt it in my feet rose to my chest!

One gal had a satellite branch shoot up to 67inches, so I opted for some HST to keep her from touching the LEDs, the next day she was perked back up at the light! Others seem to be fine and done stretching! (one is at about 7'' from lamp - if she looks like she's starting to burn I'll train her down as well) No more silica! Runt has a couple satellite branches at 40'' - stretched more than I expected her to! ~~~~~~~~~~ Questions & Feedback are welcomed, feel free to message me! Thanks for stopping by growmies! 🤙🤙🤙🙏🙏🙏

She is in her last stage to be cut. I want them to be 80% ambar. so I'll let her bounce all the salts by washing her roots. It has 97 days outdoor.

She's so grown up and almost ready to make a flower. I think I'd like her to be bigger and have a bigger flower. Well, this is organic. How big can it be? That's all good.😅 On 28 Oct. 22 she ate more food. She was growing up so fast and it seemed like she was about to run out of food. No matter how much I give her, it's not enough.

The smell when wet trimming the fans off is of sweet berrys, a little bit citrus and musky dank smell is the only way I can describe it. The drying is coming to an end, at the end of day 13 I broke a bud off that weighed a gram and had a smoke test, the flavours are there and it smooth smoke surprisingly but I think a cure will really bring the terps out.

This was a brilliant week for plant growth, with some side branches over doubling their height. I added the ScrOG net at the beginning of the week and began some more intensive training. The LST only plants I pretty much just continued to bend. The topped & LST'd plants I removed some of the lower bud sites that were not getting any light. I also removed a few awkward fan leaves that could not be tucked away. The addition of the net has helped with this though, as keeping the canopy even is much easier with the support it gives. I also decided not to try any further cuts on the (half) mainlined auto's. My reasoning is that they have developed strong, independent colas already, so cutting for more would not see much gain. The plants had also begun to flower on the night I went to perform the second cut, and my growing experience tells me not to mess with flowering plants too much so here we are. I gave the plants one regular watering of 10L pH'd water, and a 20L nutrient mix using the ratios stated above. All volumes were split equally between the plants. The scrawny looking blue critical has perked up a heck of a lot, so the weakest looking plant is the LST only on GSC. ZThe strongest plants by far are the ones that have been topped and LST'd, closely followed by the mainlined ones. LST only is definitely great, but it is clearly lagging behind the other two techniques.

Another problem free week she is looking great. Starting some clones, some in my d.i.y cloner using natural honey . & Some in a Seahawk professional cloner using clonex gel. They have Had similar results. About 12 days in honey & around 10-11 days in clonex, so I'll do another run of these NL now I have some clones👍

Amber trichichomes have started appearing. Moved them to a smaller box for the last few days as it's a bit cooler.

My final week is here. She’s fading out, id like to have seen her hold her colour a little longer although the leaves around the bud sites are still a nice green colour. buds are tight and dense. More to follow as the week goes on. Update…. I’m 7 days into drying, she’s starting to dry at the heads and gets more sticky the further down the branch. Next grow I’ll definitely lollipop to the top 2 nodes as I’ve found she’s a little “airy down below”. I’ll strip the branches in another 5-7 days.

11/25: Still just a few pistils on the Skunk, and she hasn't hit her stride just yet. Strawberry Pie is still vegging and the shorty this run, but everybody else is stretching and flowering. 11/27: Fed today. 11/28: Strawberry Pie still not flowering. Starcandy and PE have stretched another 5 inches in 2 days.

Day 13 of flower. 800 ppfd

~english below~ Beide Pflanzen entwickeln sich - trotz des nicht so guten Wetters - prächtig. Topf #2 ist nun 49 cm hoch und Topf #3 67 cm, der Größenunterschied bleibt stabil. Es entwickeln sich mehr und mehr Blüten, wie auf den Videos zu erkennen ist. Da es immer noch einigermaßen windig ist und ich nicht so recht weiß, was ich den beiden Pflanzen zumuten kann, hab ich beide mittlerweile mit Bambus Stäben abgestützt. Und durstiger sind sie geworden, mit einem Liter alle 3 Tage kommen die beiden aber aus. Der Duft wird auch etwas intensiver auf dem Balkon. Aber dank meiner Blumenkästen welche mit gut duftenden Blumen bepflanzt wurden, ist in der Umgebung nichts von meinen zwei Hübschen zu riechen. english Both plants are developing splendidly - despite the not so good weather. Pot #2 is now 49 cm high and pot #3 67 cm, the size difference remains stable. More and more flowers are developing, as can be seen in the videos. As it is still quite windy and I don't really know what I can expect from the two plants, I have now supported both with bamboo sticks. And they have become thirstier, but they can both get by with a liter every 3 days. The scent is also getting a little more intense on the balcony. But thanks to my flower boxes, which are planted with fragrant flowers, you can't smell anything of my two beauties in the area.
