The week started with an of trichome production and smell, orange and mandarin peel. Really nice to smell on her. She is packed with flowers and looks quit healthy. I need to have an eye on nitrogen. My potting mixes were a bit too hot and Tangerine Dream maybe needs a flush. We‘ll see how she will looks tomorrow morning and the so decide.

Week 5 is all about the first topping for mainlining or manifold training. Each plant is cut just above 3rd node, and we defoliate everything below. Going for 2 nice horizontal lines.

Week 8 of this beautiful autoflowering lady from Barney's Farm. I'm in love with this strain, the plant is very strong and vigorous, the leaves are already covered with crystal trichomes. Continuing LST on the capical so i can keep all the Buds at the same height.

Day 29 Overall I have no big plans for the girls this week. Just letting them recover from topping last week, and I'll continue to adjust the LST wires as needed. Also, I have decided to stop measuring the plant size every day as it is a bit pointless this far into veg. Instead, I will measure the girls at the end of each week. I started this week by feeding the plants' compost tea as well as foliar feed them. I have a small hand sprayer which works well as I only have a couple of plants. The bendable nozzle is convenient as it allows me to feed all sides of the plants easily. I just need to be careful when I do the underside of the leaves with the nozzle pointing upwards so I don't get my face full of wormpoop juice. I gave each girl around 2 liters of tea, and I completely forgot to check the pH. Sigh. Also, it is worth noting that I gave the tea to the plants just after the lights out so that the tea didn't burn on the leaves.  I noticed some light green/yellow tips on the new growth at the very top of the right girl. New growth further down doesn't show any yellow tips, so I suspect that I might be dealing with light bleaching. I checked the light level at the canopy, and it was up around 850 PPFD which is relatively high. (I completely forgot to raise the lights as the plants grew. DOH!) I moved up the light around 10 cm and then measured around 640 PPFD at canopy level. Hopefully, that will sort out those yellow tips but I'll keep my eyes on it. Day 30 All I did today was to once again cut back the cover crop a bit and tighten the LST wires. I did pull a bit too much on the left girl and heard a "crack". Turn out that the branch broke just right by the main stem but I think it will heal just fine as it was a really small break. Time will tell. Day 31 Today was moving day and I finally moved out all tomatoes and pepper plants. Good to have a bit more space again considering how cramped my tent is. I also did some more cover crop trimming and it is insane how much it grows. I removed a couple more leaves from the right girl as they weren't getting any light that far down on the plant. The branch on the left girl that I broke yesterday looks like a lost cause at this point but I'll give it another day or two to see if it heals. Kinda doubt it but let's see. I also tightened all the LST wires further and gave each girl around 2.5 liters of pH 6.0 water. The tops are looking good in the propagation tray but no visible roots yet. I gave them a bit more aloe tea. Finally, I hung up a CO2 bag in the tent. One of the problems with my setup is that the tent gets quite hot due to the powerful lights and since the tent is so small I can't fit an AC in there. Hopefully, the CO2 will help with the heat problem now when the weather is getting better which means that the tent will become even warmer. Day 32 Today I went on a field trip to a nearby horse ranch to hunt down and gather compost worms. I gathered around 50 red wrigglers, cleaned them up, and added them to my pots. Even though I watered the girls yesterday, the right one was dry today, so I gave her around 2 liters of pH 6.5 water. Thirsty girl but then she is also large and bushy, making sense that she drinks more than the other plant. Yesterday, I hung up a CO2 bag in the tent, and unfortunately, it really smells like shit. Literally. I hope the smell will decrease with time because right now, it stinks pretty bad when I open the tent. Ugh. Finally, I removed that broken branch as it was clear it wouldn't make it. Day 33 Ahhhhh, the wonderful feeling of opening up the tent and get hit by a wall of shit smell. My girlfriend even bitched me out that the entire apartment stinks. This was the first time I bought this brand of CO2 bags and I seriously doubt that I will repurchase it... More watering today, and I gave each girl 2.5 liters of pH 6.5 water. At least all this watering keeps the humidity at a reasonable level, but I really should get around to hooking up the Blumat system, so I don't need to hand-water all the time. I'm way too lazy to have to water every day. I did some additional defoliation on the left girl. Nothing crazy. It was just removing a few leaves that weren't getting any lights at the bottom of the plant. I also installed a scrog net but am not thrilled about how it fits. I'll leave it for now but think I will have to make my own in the future. Finally, I managed to put up a plastic pocket on the wall of the tent. Something that I have considered since getting the tent but never gotten around to doing. It is just a place where I can put the tools that I use most - scissors for cutting back cover crop and defoliation, PAR meter to check light levels, pH meter to make sure that my water is ok, and glasses for inspecting the plants. Day 34 Today my girlfriend was hiding in bed, under the cover, as I opened the tent. Just in case... Sure, enough. It still stinks. No big mission today. Just a quick maintenance mission where I cut down the cover crops a bit and removed another few leaves to increase air circulation. I also repositioned and tightened the LST wires. That was it. Day 35 End of week 5 of vegetation and another fairly easy day. I gave each girl 3liters of pH 6.2 water, tightened up a couple of LST wires, tucked in a few branches into the net, and super-cropped a couple of branches on the right girl. The left girl is 24 cm tall and the right one 34 cm tall. I also moved the tops out of the tent as very little light reaches the floor of the tent now when the girls are getting bushy. I put them under a ViparSpectra light together with my tomatoes and chilis. I still have no exact plan what to do with the clones if they survive but maybe I'll plant them outdoors and see what happens.

Update of the garden

31/aug Week 4 of flowering is done. She stoped growing and now focus is on bud growth and density. I defloatied her to allow light to come in hand also took off the lower tiny flowers. Food is normal minus 2l of water since I've seen minor burns on some leafs.

These were taken on day 59 I was a little late to put gettin them up. I've been doing some heavy flushes on some of them cuz the run off ppm was a little high. I mixed these with soil so I dont know if that's why it's not coming down as quick as usual but I'll keep poundin these ladies til the cows come home

Wedding Glue from Seed Stockers. Week 5 of Flower, another month until harvest, Valentine's Day harvest most likely. 3 different Phenos planted. Phenos 1 and 2 were planted one week ahead of pheno 3. I am still trying to figure out the smell I'm getting from Wedding Glue. It's strong and I am not able to think of something similar. Getting sticky now, the Glue influence is starting.

Both Slushberry Mintz plants are absolute eye-catchers. Indoors, they are developing gorgeous purple buds with an impressive bud structure. The terps are exceptionally strong and incredibly tasty. Rich grape-cake terps fill the air, while the buds continue to swell and become denser and firmer. The outdoor Slushberry Mintz is finally entering the flowering stage as well, showing its first signs of bud development. Overall, the outdoor plant also looks very healthy and vigorous, and I have high expectations for it. Hopefully, we’ll continue to have a dry late summer and autumn.

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are topdressed @ ml/gallon of soil. Day 1 we had sunshine and a lite breeze. Day 2 and 3 we had sunshine and a lite breeze. I watered about 2 gallons from the water hose per plant day 3. Day 4 we had shower in the morning and throughout the day. Day 5 we had rain in the early morning, drizzle and afternoon showers. I added an additional 50ml of ferrous sulfate top dressed. I also spread just enough peat moss to cover the ferrous sulfate to prevent the rain from splashing it onto plants. Previously the rain splashed granules of ferrous sulfate onto the leaves, burning them. I used 50ml or 1.66ml/gallon of soil, as I've only got about 30 gallons of soil in the pots. I'm waiting to top off after this excessive rain is done. Day 6 we had intermittent rain, drizzle, and mist throughout the day. This weather has been very WET for cannabis.The good news is the ferrous sulfate is working. The soil pH is down around 6.4. There's still a small amount of excess phosphorus but these girls will grow into it. Day 7 we had rain all morning and into the afternoon. The pots are soaked. I noticed on day 3 that the #1 plant is falling behind the other two. The reason is the procession of the sun has caused it's path to create shade on the #1 plant. We have large trees surrounding the grow area and the #1 plant is receiving about a hour less sun in the morning. I waited for the pot to get lite and moved to a sunnier location on day 3. Everyone grew very good despite the excessive rain and cool nights. The plants doubled in height and overall this week was a success.

3/28/25 chopped and humidity was a little high starting off 3/30/25 have them drying at 60% and 70° 4/3/25 Still needing a day or so of drying to be at a stable humidity Beautiful plant. Fan leaves with Triched out patterns visibly everywhere. Even though i chopped quite a bit off of the plant, i still got quite a bit bigger yield than i expected. All sizable nugs. Pulled 65 grams.

Hallo 👋👋👋 ein weiterer vergangener grow meinerseit, den ich nun Stück für Stück hochladen werde. Dies ist auch mein erster Balkongrow. Es handelt sich hierbei um eine photoperiodische Blue Sunset Sherbet von Barney’s Farm und einer Royal Jack automatic von Royalqueenseeds. Beide sind direkt in einem 8l Topf auf dem Balkon gestartet und wurden mit florgsnics ausreichend ausgestattet. Die Jack hat sich absolut prächtig entwickelt, die Sherbet durfte einige wilde Entscheidungen meinerseits miterleben. Wünsche viel Freude beim Lesen :)

Some pretty good growth over the past week. Got them out of their cups and into buckets. Seeing as this is a pheno hunt, not planning to veg too long so should be able to train them up with no problem on space. They are happy and loving life so far. Tons of roots at the bottom of the net cup so shouldn’t have any issue going forward. Excited to see what is to come 🙌🏻
