9/11/24 sadly the sun isnt hitting these girls as much as i wish. theyve got a decent smell and some decent trichome coverage for only being the begining of week 4. hopefully they chunk up and arent too far behind because of the lack of sun/ light penetration. ive had half a mind to move them indoors to finish

Week 6 of flower - again, I prefer to call it the end of week 7 because this chick is mere days from done. She's a straight fuck'n enigma to be honest. Earlier in the week I was sure she was gett'n the knife on the weekend. Now I'm almost positive I can push a little more outta her. She's fading out beautifully now but the trichs are sooooo close to our harvest wheelhouse. General uniformity in cloudiness throughout, little amber on the tops and some racy mirrored trichs on the underbelly👌. Swapped the res. and we'll top off on plain water moving forward to the full finish I think. I expect this to be the last update before the chop. We were hoping for a well-rounded basketball and ended up with a warped beachball monster👌. She's squat and the buds start from literally the base of the plant. Gonna go out on a limb and guess min. 4oz. at this point. Dense resinous beast💪. Not long now ya'll. Tip 'O The Week This weeks bullshit is about pick'n ur spot when it comes time to harvest. Some folks like their weed racy and heart palpatation inducing, others like it sedative and ..... ahhh fuck it. I’m way too high to be soapboxing right now. Summary: Wait until she’s done and then get the scissors out!👍. Background From Exotic Seeds, Herz OG is a 4th gen. Cross of GG4 and black lemon autos, crossed again with a photo Herz OG mother. Supposedly piney, honey and woody tones with a calm relaxing effect. Just what the lady of the house ordered. She’ll be straight DWC like the rest. 2 weeks on the drip line and depending on how they all do, this may be the girl that stays under the Spider Farmers for the duration. My first go with Exotic so no idea what we’re in for. Let’s hope she’s a beast🤞. I’ve included a weekly tip forum for those new to the game that have an interest in trying out water based hydroponics. It’s vetted, reliable info that will hopefully help you avoid weeks of lost time and failed attempts. Comments, questions and discussion are always welcome👍.

well, it's exactly 12 weeks :) and my house is full of lemon aroma :) the girl endured really difficult growth, but she coped with everything perfectly :) who followed the growth, you saw that she grew on the balcony for 10 weeks, and she spent the last 2 in the grow tent :) 500 gr wet weight !!!!:) , before putting it in the ground I expected less than 10 g dry yield :D then this growth turned out super well, if it wasn't for my vacation I would have let it grow for about 2 weeks I think. but everything is still very good, I'll go home, fix it and do a smoke review :).

Welcome to week 6 of flower! Well not a great deal to put in this week but it’s all been about fatness and the lady’s seam to be packing on there size in there buds. One of the big buds has a nute lock out so she was flushed and then fed the rest of the lady’s are just powering on. They have really upped there nute uptake and being fed twice a week with water every second day. We have added in exit this feed today to assist them in getting even bigger dense buds. As this is our first indoor fem seed grow I’m rather happy with how it’s all turning out, there is just solid 8-9” colas forming on all the plants. The gold leaf that had nanas on it has stopped producing them and is still outside. I do look forward to smoking her as she is looking rather nice like the gals in the tent. Until next week 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Day 1: This was the fastest germination I have seen. Only 72hrs from being planted to looking happy and healthy above ground. My plan is to not water this week and only rely on the humidifier which is filled with Ph’d water for feeding the plant. Now that the seedling is above ground I have changed from the 3 small CFL’s to just one 200watt CFL. I’ve added a strip of silver tape around the inside of the top of the pot to help reflect light. Day 2: Looking good. I put a few drops of water around the seedling just to dampen the soil a bit. Temperature is a bit hotter than I’d like at 30 degrees with the lights on but that’s down to the outside warm weather conditions. Seems to be okay though. Day 3: Happy and healthy. I put another few drops of water around it again to keep the soil damp, but only in close to the seedling. I’m keeping the top layer of the rest of the soil dry so it’s not appealing for little bugs and mould. Underneath the dry layer the soil is still wet since I soaked it through before planting the seed. Day 4: Getting wider but not any taller which is awesome. I put another few drops of water around the bass of the stem. The humidity doesn’t seem to be enough on its own, probably because of the high temperature. Day 5: Happy and healthy looking. Day 6: Everything is awesome. Day 7: One week old and it’s all looking good. Another few drops of water again today around the stem. Plant is starting to take shape. Wahoo, one week down.

Monday It’s beginning of week 4 and they are doing pretty well. The main stems are hard and strong and it’s impossible to bend them at that point. I am practicing a very light hand LST everyday like I am showing in the video. Tuesday Watering for both of them , you can follow the (simple) process in the videos. The plants are doing great except for a little issue on one of them that I will show you tomorrow. Topping or not ? May be beneficial so I’m about to do it. Fiming maybe ? Thursday Topping on video ! Simple method

Euphoria is a superior blend of selective heredity between the popular cannabis strains of Royal Medic and Shark Shock. Royal Medic is a strain of cannabis that owes the majority of its genetics to the Juanita la Lagrimosa and is recognized as one of the high CBD strains and those genetics have been passed on to Euphoria. THC: 9% CBD: High Yield Indoor : 450 - 500 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 450 - 500 gr/plant Height Indoor: 60 - 100 cm Height Outdoor: 120 - 150 cm Flowering: 8 weeks Harvest month: Early October Genetic Background: Great White Shark x CBD dominant plant Type: Sa 20% In 80% Ru 0% Effect: A motivating and inspiring feeling Climate: Mild -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-10-16. Week 5, day 25 from germination. This girl knows how to take it easy in the growing department, there is nothing more to say about her right now. She is 11 cm tall. Im waiting to be able to fim her and i hope she picks up the pace now. Added a couple of picks. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-10-20. Week 5 day 4. The girl are in the final 12 liters autopots and have moved into my newfixed second growroom with 5 other girls.. I have fimed her. Added video of new growroom.

Fractal was harvested on Sept 12. Due to extended period of high temperatures and humidity with more rain expected every day following another hurricane. The other gals were showing disease. That was the determining factor to chop all outside girls down. Fractal hung in the dark for 2 days. Because her grow family experienced bud rot and wilt, she was examined carefully for any disease. She was disease free. Fractal had a long vegetative phase. Probably too long since I started my outside grow in April so they would be hardened off before I went on vacay in May. Three months of veg caused massive vegetative growth. The various breeder notes on photo period seeds indicate late September or October harvest. So that was in the back of my mind during this grow. 👉 Note for next year start seeds later in spring. 👉 Plan start date based on counting back from the vernal equinox. 👉 Based on such a long growing season, Autos may be preferable to finish quickly and not have extended vegetation phase before flower. Thank you @DivineSeeds for the opportunity to grow your exotic strains and participate in your contest. I will definitely grow fractal again.

Man any strain I grow from @fastbuds has the best all around terps of any auto flowering plant I have grown yet . They have strong genetics and a great customer service as well I've never been let down . To be honest when I popped this seed I knew she was special it cracked and got moving do quick that it was evident she wanted to grow . She was put into a 3 gallon fabric pot with living soil . I used NextGen soil out of Sudbury and the stuff is amazing. This whole grow was organic and the plant was at one point near death . I had over watered and let her go to the point that I wasn't sure she would make it . But she did and outperformed my expectations completely . The buds are long and dense with lots of trichomes . The way I fixed my issue was way less water and a couple top feeds of an organic flowering mix . The strength in this plant to turn around and come back strong like that was super impressive like no slow in growth and no hermies or lack of bud Growth . The newest strains that keep coming out are fire and I'm very happy to be able to try these at all . The next round of autos I do will again be of the fastbuds company . This plant in the end is around days 85 from seed and had it been trained better and more wattage could have been a super monster plant .. cheers and happy growing ..keep their plant going it's medical for so many people. Update smoke report - the plant cured nicely and the buds are hard with decent trichomes ! Not the sticky buds I expected but she was dried a little to long and so it's to be expected 🤣.. but in all honesty it's a great plant for bubble hash and I'm putting it into the hash bag mix for washing can't wait .. again cheers to fastbuds for letting me try their new strains cheers

I just switched to water on Quebec Blast. Starting the purging of nutrition from the plant to harvest. Next update will be a harvest. Trichromes are frosty so should be prime ripeness when ready. She grew under the Spider Farmer SE5000 light in New Level Hydro buckets the whole grow.

Start of week 3 flower (Day 15) and things seem to be going OK. Slight calcium deficiency, I think I may have overshot the bloom too soon and it's locking out the calcium, I'll cut back slightly and see how she goes. I'm excited to see how this turns out. Hopefully just keep things running smoothly for the next 6 weeks. Ill try and update as much as possible. ✌️

All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. Day 77/7 PPFD is between 470 and 700 again with little vertical growth after all the HST/LST over last few days. I used 15 minutes of UV mid day with 15 minutes (30 total) IR before and after main light timers. VPD was better today with 73F/55%RH/40%ILV Turning off the humidifier was the key this time. All in all she looks fine for the day, I am hoping to get the new tent up tomorrow and will see if I can get her to fully stretch out again to allow each cola enough space to bulk with light and wind Day 78/8 Tent conditions improved today because I was able to fix the sizing issue - I now have a Spider Farmer Pro-Grade Grow Tent, 48"x48"x80" VPD is harder to get the humidity down in so I may have to put in a second de-humidifier or open another vent port, currently I have a 6" ILV pulling against a 4" open air vent hole. I would have tinkered with it a bit more but I was getting close to lights out so I left it. VPD for most of the day was 74F/55%RH/40%ILV in the Mars Hydro Tent. I current have 68F/65%RH/40%ILV for overnight. Lights are about the same as yesterday with 80% power I am getting 470 to 700 ppfd from 42" from soil to light and since the plant is about 20" that gives her about 22" leaves to light. Im currently using the same 2x4 Bloom Plus LED light centered in the tent but I have another 2x4 Bloom Plus scheduled for delivery on Monday or Tuesday. - She had 20 minutes of UV and 30 minutes total of IR (15/15) I am hoping this allows her to spread out and receive full light/air on each cola - So I also placed 2 more fans in the tent at plant level to help circulate the air better. Day 79/9 PPFD was little changed since yesterday as was vertical growth (I think she's trying to spread back out again.) - ppfd was between 480 and 710 with 25 minutes of UV and 30 of IR (18/18) VPD was a struggle to get under 60 - I now have 2 de-humidifiers in teh tent witht the ILV set to kick up anytime she hits 62%RH. Mostly though I was able to get it down to 55 to 61 - Temps are easier to control with 4 fans and the ILV triggers. Day 80/10 VPD was 74 to 77F today with humidity still pushing 62% with 2 humidifiers today when the tent was closed. Otherwise I was able to reduce the humidity to 35 to 45% with the door open long enough (in MN fall with temps are around 30s) So I had my door open for a bit today because I installed my second Bloom Plus XP2500 LED lights today and had to reroute most of the wires. PPFD after completion ranged from 550 at lowest to 750 - I only did 20 minutes of UV since yesterday was her first day at 20. I also increased the IR to 30/30 with 15 before and after lights on/off - so a total of 1 hr total at lights on/off Feels dry so I plan to feed tomorrow morning with about 3 gallons of 6.3ph de-chlorinated tap water feed in a 10:90 ratio of Veg/Bloom mix Day 81/11 I fed her today with 3 gallons of 6.4ph de-chlorinated tap water with a 25:75 ratio of Veg/Bloom mix at 500ppm. Runoff showed a ph of 6.5 and 1750 ppm. VPD was more stable today after I opened another open air vent hole on another side of the side. 76F/55%RH with ILV on auto when needed. PPFD ranged from 550 to 750 again with the lights at about 42 and she's now 34x28wide x22 tall, so about 20 inches from lights. Still only hit her with 20minutes of UV and an hour of IR with 30/30 at main light schedule with 15/15 before and after. Day 83/13 Almost two weeks since flip. Turning the lights down yesterday seemed to help, little to no new burn progression on those identified yesterday and new growth with no new burn. Will continue to monitor. Nute transfer seems to also slowed progression with the leaves only turning brown where they yellowed before and little to no new yellowing. VPD doing better as well - I turned the heat down just slightly so now avg temps are about 73 - 75F and humidity under 59%RH with the OLV set to auto for limit controls PPFD most unchanged after I started the day with a little LST on the center cola that was getting ahead of the rest. I also released teh last branch being tied - now all colas are simply help by the tomato rings. Once it was leveled PPFD was 750 at highest and about 550 for the lowest.
