9/8/2024 Plant B showing signs of female with hairs coming from the pre-flower formations. Looks to be stretching and starting to push into flower as well. Plant A is growing insanely well! Continuing to defoliate daily by removing larger fan leaves here and there to continue to open up the canopies on both plants. No complete water change yet since a few weeks ago. I have continued to add fresh nutrient water with an occasional pH-adjusted gallon of filtered water + cal mag. 9/10/2024 Both plants and stretching nicely and developing great canopies! Plant A is an absolute monster, plant B is small and compact but has really good node spacing already. I am expecting some nice flower development over the next few weeks! Topping off the reservoir with about 1 - 1.5 gallons per day of nutrient water at this point. Continuing to prune a good handful of leaves and smaller growth from the plants to open up the canopy leading up to day 21 final trim. Trying to stay ahead of a huge stress event for the plants. 9/12/2024 Continuing to defoliate handful of leaves and prune smaller undergrowth. Cutting only 2-4 stems per day to avoid over stressing. 9/13/2024 Raised lights over plant A a few inches as it continues to stretch. Also trying to keep the lights low enough for plant B without burning the side branches of plant A. 9/14/2024 All week I have been adding nutrient water to the system. No water change or replacement. However today, I decided to introduce just pH-balanced water to drop the nitrogen concentration in the system as we transition into week 3 flower. Highest PPM throughout the week was around 900, average 800, low in the PM after pH water 700. Had a minor flow issue with a root plug in one of the drain lines. Blew them out and flow returned. Humidity in the tent has been slightly higher than ideal this week, although VPD has been around 1 - 1.4 with the lights on. Likely due to the volume of plant matter in the tent. Doing my best to keep up with defoliation and trimming. Day 21 flower will be much needed!

Day 22 (2020-05-31): Did some additional LST and defoliation. For LST I used wire hooks pushed into the soil to encourage sideways growth of the new branches. The G14 looks a lot bushier but it did not have as many large leaves that needs to be removed. Also, due to it's mutant nature, it started with two main branches. Maybe I should have pinched one back, but it seems very healthy so far. Roots are poking out the bottom of both pots. Not sure if this is bad or not. It did not happen in my previous grow but was using 3 gal instead of 2 gal fabric pots. Day 23 (2020-06-01): Investigated the mesh cup filter I am using with the Blumats. Turns out I had it backwards and it had some slimy feeling film inside. Not sure if that is contributing to the PH rise when water sits in the tubing, but I cleaned it out and swapped it the right way. Made some small LST adjustments. Day 24 (2020-06-02): Removed a couple of blocking leaves, made some slight LST tweaks to even things out. One of the Blumats seemed like it was not dripping but bleeding the line caused it to kick in. Must have still had some residual air in the system from yesterday's filter adjustment. PH is still a bit higher coming out of the line, but is much improved. Will continue to monitor. If it stays high may try removing the filter altogether to eliminate that possibility. Day 25 (2020-06-03): Changed the reservoir out. PH was high, but still in range but the water was cloudy and had a pretty rotten smell. Going to check PH and smell daily and see if I can get a handle on what is happening. Maybe I just need to have a regular changing schedule. Day 26 (2020-06-04): PH of reservoir at 5.6. Day 27 (2020-06-05): PH of reservoir at 5.7. DId some LST adjustments and removed a few larger leaves. Noticed some light discoloration spots on a couple of the older leaves. Moved lights a bit closer (21") Day 28 (2020-06-06): Noticed some yellowing on the tips of some of the new growth. I checked the lights and they had been way closer than I thought. Moved to correct distance to see if it may have been early signs of light burn. PH of reservoir is at 6.2. Most likely will change out tomorrow. I also noticed today a bit of white fuzz mold growing on the outside of the pots and even a little bit on the surface of the coco. I am going to turn off the humidifier for a few days and get some 3% H2O2 to wipe down the outside of the pots.

Purple punch is nuts, super frosty. Even some fan leaves are covered with tricomes. I believe I will flush it very soon, maybe in the next watering. Gorilla punch beautiful plant with some purple nugs. They are getting really fat Mimosa cake still getting more and more white pistils and I hopping the nugs get fat 🙏🏼

Day 106, Flower Day 50. Looked at Trichomes this morning. GSC still showing some glassy/milky look. Bubba is pretty milky colored. Still needs at least a week. Went on vacation last week. Had somebody else water. They closed the door, so not as good air circulation. Bubba showed powdery mildew. Not yet severe, so I took the plant outside, trimmed off some fan leaves that showed mildew. Then I sprayed the entire plant with a 25% milk solution (whole milk) and let it dry. Back in the tent. Cranked up the inline fans and added a small fan to the Bubba tent. Just need a couple more weeks.

May 17, 2024 Day 92 This is the last week of the Flowering phase. I'll be harvesting most likely next midweek or earlier. The goal is to harvest by the end of the week, but I don't think they will be done. Banana Purple Punch A looks amazing! Her branches are nice and leaning. Not too much, just enough. She's also starting to show signs of fade. Or at least unhappy leaves turning yellow. One weird thing I noticed is the back leaves all have signs of nitrogen toxicity. What's weird is that I haven't used nitrogen in over a week and the last time I used it, I did a quarter dose. This should not be happening. I'm confused. Other than that, it's the end and I'm not worried about it, but it's still weird. Any insight? Banana Purple Punch B looks great as well. Tons of orange pistils and lots of frost. What's nice is that a lot of that frost is still clear trichomes. Imagine what they will look like in the end. I'm so excited! Both plants still have water in their basins, so I'm going to let them drain out and most likely not water again. It should be about a week for them to dry out completely. Perfect timing for harvest. I may put Banana Purple Punch A in a dark period while Banana Purple Punch B finishes up for a couple days. I'm doing the same thing with my Tropicana Cookies. Lighting. Well, it hasn't changed. Lol. Duh. Hahahahaha. Another week of this light intensity. I've all but given up on the environment. It's got tons of airflow and lots of light. The temp is fine. It's just the damned humidity. I give up. I'll just keep removing the plants from the tent as need be. I didn't touch Banana Purple Punch A today though. She is propping up the last Tropicana Cookies for the next 2 days. I will however, make sure to inspect her as much as I can. And as soon as she is freed up, I'll be flipping her around. And pulling her away from the side of the tent. Same with Banana Purple Punch B. Both are squished for the moment. I also managed to get all 4 Sour Diesel plants in the tent after pulling one of the Tropicana Cookies. So these ladies are a bit tight for now. But only for a couple of days. If that. I was considering putting the Sour Diesel in the back and keeping the Tropicana Cookies up front for ease of access, but that will just cause chaos with bendy floppy branches. So I'm leaving it. It all fits. Snug as the Tetris skills I had to use to make it happen. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.4° RH: 61.4% VPD: 1.17 kPa Quick update on lighting: I had to increase the light power up to 80% for the Sour Diesels now in the tent. They were at like 16 mol/m²/d instead of the 20 to 25 mol/m²/d it should be. Anyway, so the light was increased. It didn't change much. Some spots went back up to 40 mol/m²/d, and some went up to 38 mol/m²/d. Overall the spread is 34 to 40 mol/m²/d. These 2 should t have any issues with the light increase. I wonder if it will help along the maturing process. I don't know science. Maybe the dark does? Maybe they both do and just in different ways. Yah, that's it. May 18, 2024 Watering day. Both ladies got a full gallon reservoir refill of plain water today. No sense in running the Flawless Finish anymore. They have mere days left to maybe a week. I'll just keep extending the time until I'm right. Lol. Hopefully it will be the last watering. Neither plant is thirsty at all, so it should take around a week for the reservoirs to empty. Banana Purple Punch A looks great! She is nearly ready. No fade yet though. I don't really understand. Is she not fading because she isn't done yet? Or is this just how it's going to be? Insight? Lol. Banana Purple Punch B is coming along nicely. I don't think she is near done yet. I don't get why they are taking so long. Either way, when she's done, there will be some amazing bud. The light isn't hurting anything that I can tell. So it will stay the same. The environment is an absolute mess now. With more power to the light comes more heat. Now I'm stuck in the mid 60s for humidity and 78° for the temp. All bad. I've been checking each plant for mold, mildew, bud rot and anything else that doesn't look right. So far we're safe. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.4° RH: 64.2% VPD: 1.06 kPa Can you say horrible environment? I'm so screwed. Even if I don't get any issues like bud rot, the humidity is doing a toll on trichome production. Update: After some research, I have found that high humidity can cause plant production to slow down significantly. That could be the problem I'm facing right now. My humidity is entirely way too high and the plants aren't able to take in water. And some other science I'm sure. Also, I've noticed the leaves on Banana Purple Punch A are really shiny and clawing just like nitrogen toxicity, but I'm in the second week of plain water and flushing agent. What gives? If anyone knows, I would greatly appreciate a comment or a DM. Thanks! May 19, 2024 Not a lot to do today. No watering or trichomes. Banana Purple Punch A is being weird with this nitrogen toxicity during flush. How would that work? Anyway, her leaves are starting to die off a little but no fade. Still, she has huge buds that smell wonderful. Banana Purple Punch B is starting to show a bit of color in her leaves. Just a hint of purple but just a hint. If she fades, it won't be for a bit. But it's time I don't really have. Let's hope she starts to fade quickly. Both have been in plain water for a week and before that a week of Flawless Finish. Must be more nutrients in the soil. Nothing to talk about with lighting. We all know where it's at. The environment. I'm really confused. So a week of high humidity and my room is also humid. Today, it's low humidity and my room is still high. Even with the door open from outside it's still high. Why? What sorcery is this? Anyway, the tent is still stuck at 65% humidity and temps are down to 73°. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.5° RH: 68.3% VPD: 0.84 kPa May 20, 2024 We are starting to fade! Finally! Both ladies are starting to fade in their own way. No watering today. They definitely don't need it at all. Maybe a half gallon before the drying period. Banana Purple Punch A is fading in her own messed up unhappy way. Her leaves are super shiny and clawing like she has nitrogen toxicity, but she's flushing. I don't get it. Leaves are canoeing and turning yellow. Maybe this is her fading in the most messed up way. But she's fading. Some of her leaves are starting to get a purple hue. Her buds are super fat and stinky. It's wonderful. Banana Purple Punch B is the picture of a perfect small plant. She is fading like a normal plant. She's getting purple hues on her leaves, buds are developing purple as well. By the end, I hope to have a couple deep purple plants. I'm still wondering why it's taking so long. They should have been done weeks ago. The lighting is the same. The environment is the same. Although, it dropped to 40% outside yesterday and the humidity stubbornly stayed in the mid 60s. It makes no sense. Anyway, I'm stuck at 65% still and the temp is finally under control again. I have it a bit low for the last bit of flowering at 73° it's going to be hot today, so I'm hoping my room stays cool. Maybe the humidity will drop again and I can try to get the humidity to come down. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.6° RH: 67.7% VPD: 0.86 kPa May 21, 2024 Trichome day! Some good things happening today. Both ladies are looking great! They finally have some fade going on. Not a lot, but some. Banana Purple Punch A is almost out of water. I'm going to let her dry out a bit more and then add another half gallon to her reservoir. Her trichomes are starting to show more amber. Maybe 5% now? About 10% clear and the rest are cloudy. She still has a bit more time to go. I'd say another 5 to 7 days? Maybe slightly less? Hopefully slightly less. Banana Purple Punch B has a saturated bottom. I think it's because the roots never grew out of the container, so the soil is sucking up all the water and I guess the roots are not? I'm not sure, but I can def say that she is barely drinking. I'll pull the wicks tomorrow. Her trichomes are looking great. She has around the same as her sister plant. About 5% amber, 10% clear and the rest cloudy. Both plants have huge dense buds. I can only imagine how much more dense they will get over the next few days while they finish up. We finally got the central air on in the house. It made all the difference in the environment. Well, that was until it shut off and then my room needed assistance. In the form of wet cold air. Definitely not good there, but the AC will kick on in no time. It's 80° out today, so I expect the central air to kick on anytime now. When it's on, the humidity drops to 56% and the temp stays at 74°. Very nice. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.7° RH: 62.9% VPD: 1.00 kPa May 22, 2024 Nothing to do today with these two. I might have to water Banana Purple Punch A in a little while. I was hoping I could get away with it, but I think she is dried up enough for another half gallon of tap water PHed to 6.1. Banana Purple Punch A looks good but has clear signs of previous stress. Interesting. Her tops are leaning even harder now. Those buds must be super heavy. The branches are pretty thick. Banana Purple Punch B looks amazing. Purple is coming in quickly. Her buds are definitely denser and fatter now. Probably as big as they will get. Now it's just time for her to mature. I have a small problem. I have 1 Tropicana Cookies left and 4 Sour Diesels in pre-flower in the tent as well. Suffice it to say, I need to make room for the Sour Diesels to stretch. And that could start anyway now. I'm concerned I'm going to run into massive crowding and cause mold. As it is, the humidity is still really high, so I don't want to risk it. All that being said, I might now be able to wait for perfect doneness with these ladies. I might have to harvest them in a matter of a couple days. The last Tropicana Cookies in the tent should be pulled either tomorrow or the next day, unless the Sour Diesels start to significantly stretch, then all three including these two will have to be pulled. So there you go have it. My current issue is space for 7 plants in a 3x3 tent. I know, I'm ridiculous. But you gotta do what you gotta do. On a side note, I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong to always have plants go way past their time. Seriously, it kind of messes with my schedule. For example the Sour Diesels. Those were planted on 4/20 and these ladies were supposed to be fully done a week later. But it's been 4 more weeks and they still aren't done. Total wrench in my plans. What could I be doing wrong? The environment is still a mess. The central air hasn't kicked on yet, so I'm relying on my own portable AC. The problem with that is it blows out really humid air when the compressor kicks off. So my humidity is high again. Over 60% yet again. The temp is fine at 75°. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.7° RH: 59.4% VPD: 1.20 kPa May 23, 2024 Last day of the week and we have some real purple coming in now. Especially on Banana Purple Punch B. Most of her tops are now a nice deep purple. Leaves are also getting the nice purple hue as well. Banana Purple Punch A looks great. Lots of leaning branches now. She should be ready for harvest in just a few days. Not as much purple as I'd hoped, but it's fine. Her buds still look fantastic. Banana Purple Punch B is quite nice. She has super heavy tops and should be ready in maybe 5 days. There's still too many white pistils on the lowers. I can't express how nicely the purple is coming in. A little late from what I've seen in other grows, but here nonetheless. She still hasn't finished her gallon of water and it's been well into a week. I think I'll turn off the bottom feed system for her tomorrow. It should be perfect timing for her last week of life. I definitely cannot change the lighting for these two. The Sour Diesels need more of it. I'll have to drop it down soon, they are growing pretty fast and starting to seriously pray. Too much. So the light will remain her for now. I might still lower the light and turn down the intensity. I'm not sure yet. The environment is starting to calm down. Not quite fast enough for my liking to be honest. Currently the temp is around 76.5° and the humidity is still high at 61%, but it will drop in a little while. Maybe we can get down to 50% today. Update: I've decided to give these two no more than a week to finish up. Both of the Tropicana Cookies are out now and they are taking around 5 days to dry, maybe 7. But no longer than that. The other reason is the Sour Diesels that are now sharing the tent are in pre-flower and will need the space ASAP. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.2° RH: 60.6% VPD: 1.18 kPa

She seems to be doing a lot better since the foliar spray last week. Leaves are a dark green now and the stalks are more malleable due to the silica. Did another Silica foliar spray this week as well. 12 gal of water and it is supposed to rain on them today. Fingers crossed!

10.15.23 - Both plants watered with 6.4 pH + 3ml CalMag + 10ml Bloom + 0.5 TSP RECHARGE. I'll be going up to 15ml/bloom from now on. I did a pretty aggressive "final" defoliation and pruning of lower bud sights. Plants are still very green and happy. :) 10.17.23 - Girls are getting thirsty. Soil was nearly bone dry - gonna have to start watering more frequently. Watered today @ 6.4pH + 3ml CalMag + 15ml Bloom + 0.75 TSP Recharge. Did some additional pruning and the leaves are still very green and praying 10.19.23 - Both watered with 6.3pH + 3ml CalMag + 15ml Bloom. No recharge this feed, in a time crunch. Officially done defoliating / pruning. Time to just feed and let them go from now on :) Day 19 flower 10.21.23 - Both watered with 6.35pH + 3ml CalMag + 15ml Bloom + 1 TSP RECHARGE. The early developing trichomes are already over the fan leaves and are wildly sticky. The new smells are incredible and can't wait for them to get stronger over the next few weeks 10.21.23 - UPDATE: I took my 'end of week 3' photos and noticed that a lot of the leaves are showing early signs of overfeeding of P/K or both. Will be carefully measuring input/output from here on to ensure a slight lowering of soil EC.

Week 8 flower : still flushing with ph water everyday the run off ec is 0.5 gonna keep flushing for another week . Finishing on 9 weeks The blue cheese I have 2 different phenos . 1 is very blue and weird shaped leaves and is nearly ready gonna give it till end of the week and do 48hrs on dark before harvest The other blue cheese is more green but has grown a lot bigger the colas are amazing it definitely needs another 7-10 days . Sunset sherbet this will be flushed for a few more days and left in dark for 48 hrs This is the first time using led lights and all the bad stuff I heard about mars hydro . I have to say I’m very impressed with what it’s done .

[ Information ] For all information on this grow, including strain and grow room details, please see Week 1 of Veg. [ Updates ] Day 10 - Topped at the end of Day 9. Foliar sprayed with neem at lights on today. C02 has been increased to 800 ppm average, humidity lowered to 70%. Light power has been increased, now running at 35%. Amazing growth, finally removed all the rogue sunflowers as I didn't notice any significant gains having them. They're getting thirsty today but I'm going to give them another day, possibly 2, before I feed again. I'd like one last heavy wet/dry period for root stretch and then I'll go heavy with some organic nitrogen into flip. I can't use the same net as previous harvests because of the new room design so I'll have to create a new frame to start building the final even canopy. I'm fairly happy with how both groups of plants are growing into an even canopy within their expected timelines. Day 12 - Light intensity increased to 40%. Fed today, 1.05ec (6.8ph) with 10-15% runoff. No signs of light bleaching or stress, their leaves are almost always praying upwards. They could use a lollipopping, but with how quick they're growing I'll most likely wait until a couple days before flip to clean them up now.
