🌱 Day 57 - Start of the Second-to-Last Flowering Week 🌱 Hello, Grow Friends! Today marks the start of the second-to-last flowering week—Week 9 overall, and Week 5 of flowering. 🌿 I’m getting more and more excited as my first grow nears its end. As I approach harvest, I’ve decided, based on my research, to stop feeding nutrients and stick to just pH-adjusted water for the final two weeks. 💧⚖️ Watering Routine: I’ll keep the same watering schedule—1 liter every two days, which is about 10% of the pot volume. 🌱💧 This should be enough to flush out the remaining nutrients, ensuring a clean finish for the plant. Temperature & Humidity: The temperature remains stable between 19-23°C, which I believe is ideal for this stage of the grow. 🌡️🍂 No more high temperatures to worry about! The humidity is fluctuating between 45-58%, and I’m keeping a close eye on it to stay below 60%. 💧🔍 Everything seems on track for now. 🌿 Plant Health & Growth: The plant still looks very healthy overall. 🌱💪 However, I’ve noticed that in the past three days, there haven’t been any visible changes in the size of the buds. 🤔 It could just be that I’m not seeing the growth clearly, but the only noticeable change is the daily opening of new flower calyxes. 🌸 Harvest Preparation: I’m already getting my equipment ready for drying after harvest. 🛠️ Once it’s time to cut, I’ll be hanging the plant to dry for the first 10 days. 🌿✂️ I want to make sure everything is set for a smooth drying process. Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, daily photos of the plant will be posted! 📸🌱 Day 62 - Last-Minute Decisions with Urgent Changes 🌱 Hello, my grow friends! Due to the trichome pictures I took on Day 61—which you can check out too—I’ve made an unexpected decision to harvest my plant a bit earlier than planned and make some changes. 🌿 Watering and Flushing: The last time I watered was on Day 61, using all the usual nutrients at the doses I mentioned before. But after seeing the trichome pictures, I decided to start a light flush today. I gave the plant 4 liters of plain water to begin flushing and will now only water lightly on Day 64. After that, no more water until harvest on Day 67. 🌑 Dark Period: From Day 66 to Day 67, I plan to keep the plant in darkness. I’m not entirely sure if this will make a difference, but I’m curious to try it out. ✂️ Defoliation: The plant is doing well, and I’ve done a thorough defoliation. I removed all leaves that aren’t sugar leaves or directly attached to the buds to improve air circulation and reduce the risk of mold as I approach the end of the grow. 💭 Trimming Decisions: I’m still undecided about whether to do a wet trim or a dry trim. Based on what I’ve read, especially regarding the yield from trim, I’m leaning towards dry trimming, as it might give me more usable trim material. I can feel the plant entering its final phase, and I’m getting really excited about the results and what the next few days will bring. Remember, I post a video update every day. If you have any tips or suggestions, I’d love to hear them! Until next time! 🌱

Today 7/30/19, day 57 and the start of week 9. I'm still continuing to alternate between days with my pesticide treatment (especially after finding that bug living on one of hulkberries fan leaf) and thrive alive green daily foliage spray as a prophylactic solution against any possible pests or mold going into these last few dog days of veg. I will flush them with distilled ph'd water for two days this weekend in preparation for flower. Then I'll start them on some "flower fuel" bloom booster on top of my secret for success flower recipe at 1/4 of the recommended strength. Outside of that still no adverse issue to report for the end of the 8th week. After my last trim, they both have responded very nicely, I was kind of worried about fat banana stalled growth. But one thing I noticed when I topped her at the 6th node, yes the main stem stopped growing but it developed many bud sites up and down every stem. Whereas hulkberry was topped at the 8th node, she has mainly focused on developing long stems and only 2 or 3 bud sites along her stems. Even though hulkberry in structure, is much bigger than fat banana and has a way bigger root system. Fat banana is bushier and has developed way more bud sites than hulkberry. I can't tell which strain will yield the most at this point only time will tell! Also, a big shout out to "J"@RQS, thank you for the excellent customer service. Another reason why Royal Queen Seeds is top 3 in breeding!!

Welcome Back!💚 Die Pink Sunset schlägt nun nach der ersten Blütewoche voll durch. Ihr Stretch ist relativ Stark und sie hat nun innerhalb einer Woche 18 cm zugelegt. Sie ist jetzt richtig schön ausgeglichen und die Interniodentriebe bilden sich richtig rasch aus. Ich vermute dass dieser Genotyp ziemlich stark in den Stretch gehen wird. We will see. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind auch im Blütezelt optimal: ————— 🌞 Temp: 24,3°C 🌚 Temp: 19°C bis 2°C 💨 RH: 56% VPD: 0,97 kPa👍 😎 PPFD: 750 mqm ————— Grüne Grüße 🥦

Como mencionaba en el 1er video por intensas lluvias y vientos, la planta más grande se ha partido, intente "repararlo" pero será cuestión de días para ver si ha sobrevivido o no. Por las dudas he regado( a pesar de la lluvia) 1ml x litro de agua. La cantidad de la misma fue de 3litros con flora booster.

A great week. Included a diagram so you can better tell which plant is which. I will be changing that up come flower to better fit the plants so I'll label them later as well. Gonna flip to flower I believe to try and save space. Gonna be tight but wasn't planning that this time. I got some BT var israelensis or something close to that for the fungus gnats thanks to @resimax and will test that. Lastly, you might catch a glance at the upcoming diary...

Ma première session 2020 après 7 années d'abstinence. | ~ MAJ - 2020/11/07 ----------------------------------- Enfin ! Je vous présente l'espace de culture (cf: WELCOME - Presentation of the Secret Box [Inedit] + CAMERA - 2020/11/07) 👽 | ~ MAJ - 2020/11/06 ----------------------------------- (cf. photo #7) Oh ?! Y en a une qui pointe le bout de son nez on dirait ^^ A moins que ca soit une goutte d'eau 😅 | ~ MAJ - 2020/11/05 ----------------------------------- (cf. photo #6) Ajout d'un système d'arrosage automatique. | ~ MAJ - 2020/11/04 ----------------------------------- (cf. photo #5) Suite au problème de température j'ai réduit de 20cm la planche de support de l'espace plante mère. | ~ MAJ - 2020/11/03 ----------------------------------- Comme attendu, la germination est complète 4/4 :) Suite à ce succès fulgurant, j'ai décidé de planter les grains dans ces petits cubes (cf. photo #1) que j'ai baigné préalablement dans de l'eau de Ph_6. J'ai du me munir d'une solution Ph Down de T.A Terra Aquatique afin de diminuer le Ph_8/9 initial de l'eau. Mise en place de la serre dans la boite secrète (cf. photo #2 & #3). (cf. photo #2) Bien évidemment au moment de la mise en place de la serre je constate que la hauteur lampe / plante est extrêmement juste.. Je dois donc remédier à ce problème (Facilement corrigeable je vous rassure). - La température est élevé, mais ce point n'est pas un mystère à ce stade. - L'hygrométrie est nettement inférieur que prévu (cf. photo #3) Je vous présente l'environnement de ma Secret Box. Ce nom lui va très bien, examinez de plus prêt son environnement. Un placard à balais hyper discret (presque.... Vrrrooooommm) PS : Photos prochainement ;) J'ai fais un paris avec ma copine : - [ Une culture 89% autonome ] Pour partir en weekends & vacances - [ Discrète ] Ses parents dorment 3 jours / 3 mois à l'appartement - [ Arrêter d'acheter aux mecs du quartier ] - [ Que je me fasse plaisir !!!! ] (cf. photo #4) Et voici une photo prise via camera ip/wifi absolument pas sécure xD Je dois également remédier à ce problème.. ------------------------ Matériels de ventilation/climat/odeur : - Extracteur PrimaKlima 220/400 m3/h (Toujours au top! ) - 2x Fan clip 15cm PVC ADVANCED STAR (Je pense que les ventilateurs ne sont pas efficaces, nous verrons par la suite) - 1x Ventilateur INOX Brasseur 25cm - Gaine doublé ALU/PVC 125mm - BullFilter 125mm 300m3/h (Filtre à charbon, espérons qu'il tienne) - Intracteur Winflex VKO 100mm 105 m3/H (Il est branché mais pas allumé) Matériels de Germination : - Led Eco Cro 100w - ADVANCED STAR (ou) CFL 125w (LED utilisé à ce jour) - Réflecteur basic (Un simple réflecteur inutile. Je pense le customs pour optimiser l'espace des plantes mères) - Serre Platinium lowcost (Je ne recommande pas, trop souple et fragile) Matériel de VEG/FLO : - HP/HPS 250w - SuperPlant Red - Ballast digital Super Plant HPS-MH-CMH avec dimmer - 250/315CMH/400/600/660W (Evolutif évidemment 😉) Engrais Canna Terra StarterKit - Terra Vega 250ml - Terra Flores 1L - Rhizotonic 250ml - Cannazym 125ml - Canna Boost 125ml - Canna PK 13/14 50ml - Ph Down Terreaux : - Gold Label Special Mix Light Cro/Flo

Watering every other day, using left over RO water from last feed with a little more phosphorous and potassium. and cal mag and fulvic and molasses added... EC 1.5 PH 6.2 Temp 20. Runoff was within 500 ppm higher than input (yikes). (still going for same input & runoff😒); its a dam goal ! These last couple of weeks seem to take forever. Praying to the ganga gods😇 that it finishes OK. March 29/2021 Brix is increasing, highest brix is 14 on 2 plants, brix of 10 on 5 plants, Brix of 9 on 3 plants, Brix of 8 on 1 plant, Brix of 7 on 1 plant.

Constantly taking leaves off all these girls. Trying to make space for those buds! These are some leafy genetics overall but some are starting to change color nicely for week six of flower! I checked some of the trichomes but they aren't close to ready so I didn't snap any pictures of those. But some good trichomes production from them. Got the UVB 310 in full effect right now at 4 hours. Will be boosting up to six tomorrow and continue to push for the next two weeks.

Gas tax x obama runtz there is not alot to update this week. They have not grown very much the past week. They got extra dark last time when I watered and gave 2ml per gal of grow big. They are still the smallest 2 plants in the tent. They both have started making their 1st set of leaves with 5 point although the other leaves have not started to get larger yet. I don't think they have rooted solid quite yet. Happy late turkey day grow diaries world!!!! It's now day 24 from seed for all the seedlings I have going. The past few days the plants have really started to take off. There roots have really started to dig in. Every other water I am still giving 2ml per gal of fox farm grow big. I keep having to tell myself not to add any more nutes other than that. I don't want to fry my plants but I also want they to start jumping. I'm quite excited for the coming week, I think the next 7 days or so is when the plant really starts to transform and look more like a pot plant than just some random little green thing. A few days ago I decided to move the plants from under my 55w cheep amazon light to under my spider farmer 100w newer version light with the good leds in it. The plants will hopefully be ready to up pot them here soon and get them in the large tent. Sometimes when growing multiple different strains it can be really hard to balance giving to much or to little light. You don't want the faster growing plants to get to stretched out waiting on the slower plants to catch up I spend Thanksgiving day morning transplanting the plants into 2gal pots. I am useing spme promix potting soil it's my 1st time tring this soil. It is actually doing really well the roots were all white and nice looking. I think next time I'm going to add some worm casting, kelp, granular mycos, and a little bit extra perlite. I just didn't have the money with christmas coming to splurge for all the extra stuff. I got rid of 2 plants 1 of the bubble og and 1 skunk apple runtz. There is only room for 10 pots in the 2x4 tent. I will peob only bring 8 of them to flower, always good to have back ups. Yesterday I also stuck the plants back under the 500w medicgrow mini sun 2 in my 2x4 tent. They did great under it the 2nd half the day I was happy they didn't get stressed. I had put them under that light a little early about 10 days ago or so. I am expecting in a week these plants will ge going crazy with growth

Getting rather toasty in my sealed unairconditioned garage/car port grow 90f+. Having to adapt to extreme conditions is always challenging but I find silica works very well to help the old girls deal. Let it be said I much prefer the winter here in southern california for growing my buds!!! Anyone got any tips for growing in this kinda heat?

Chop day. Everything is looking and smelling incredible. The range of smells I've got so far are: floral, grape, blueberry, gas, burnt rubber, tangerine, funk. Everything appeared fully mature beside the Cambodian x Meat Breath and Pak Man so decided this was the best time to cut them down.
