6th week of 12/12 ended for my Big Block by Cannabis Brothers California. Here I am exposing pheno number 8 this week as it's turning out great. I took it out on natural light and made few fotos so you can see it in more natural way. Besides having the nicest structure among 4 phenotypes, it's also developing the nicest flower structure and it looks like it will also finnish as first. Deffo a keeper in my eyes, but the final test will be smoking it, but we are still long way from there. Other than that, video shows current situation in my 4x4 tent. Absolutely jaw dropping cultivar, growing in 6L pots but exceeding 1m in height and also it looks like a descent yielder. Not to mention the aroma intensity. It's just proving what I was hoping for - true OG bred by true OG's - the Cannabis Brothers. Lineage Blockberry x Motorbreath 15 (Legend OG) Tap water feeding (Premium program) Aptus Light (BS600) + UVA/UVB 3hrs daily @future_of_grow Soil (lightmix) & pH Plagron Tent size 4x4 (120x120) Pot size 6L (1.6 gal) Stay tuned for few weeks more to see the final outcome, but pheno #8 is deffo the one I'm keeping. Peace out 💚

Continued growth, feeding every 3 days as soil dries out. Nice growth spurts noted and apical dominance broken via LST as limbs/new growth reach skyward. Minor fan leaf removal to permit light saturation and airflow to lower areas. Feeding 1/2 gallon per plant about every 3 days.

Defoliación leve 👨‍🌾🏻🍀

Still no sign of flowering. Transplanted Novarine plant 2 into a 50-liters container. The spot is under a big shorea plant. Shorea is a South East Asian medicinal tree. This is minimum light spot in my yard. Hope she would flower. I choose plant 2 because I think plant 1 will stretch even further. Plant 1 was also moved to a shaded spot under an tree jasmin. This Millingtonia, Indian cork tree. I have sweet flowers all year round. People told me that dried tree jasmine flower mixed well with weed and is good for people with ashma and sinus. Kind of useless since why would asthmatic people even smoke? Plant 3 is my back up until I come up with a way to put her into flowers. Clone are doing nicely. And I am growing 3 clones from plant 1 and only one clone from plant 2. I’ll be donating the rest to friends with weight and blood sugar issues. By year end, I probable keep only one or two clones. One clone from bigger branch is growing just fine without any benefit form lighted grow box. Feeding plants with mid-level dose of cow manure tea and earth worm casting tea to keep leaves healthy. They should have been given a light dose of fertilizer. However, the flowering purslane are also eating and feeding soil microbes. Got my paws on triancontanol and brassinolide. Perhaps these will jolt Novarine THCV into flowering. Triacontanol won't dissolve in neither water nor alcohol. And it is emulsified with polysobate. Mixing of Triacontanol Triacontanol does not dissolve in polysorbate. It is rather emulsified. Means that it need to be melt and there need to be water added. My steps, 1) heated 70 grams of polysorbate in a big heat resistance glass cup. I used a beaker. Mix in 5 grams of triacontanol. And it does not melt. 2) Put in 100 cc of water and put in microwave. After the mix is boiled, triacontanol melt. There is foam. So a bigger cup and a spillage plate would prevent problem with my better half. 3) After heated, the mix is better. Then I added hot water from to make total 250 CC of solution. Then, the mix is clear. 4) Label the dose with pencil. This works better than labeling with ink. I use 5 cc at a time for my entire garden. 250 CC would last me 50 doses. No need to buy so much. This is cheap. Let’s see next week how effective they are.

In questa settimana ho iniziato ad impostare gli steli nella rete, che sostituisce in parte le clip e consente l’espansione dello stelo andando a coprire il suo “quadrato” all interno della rete. Pulizia completa di tutto quello che si trova al di sotto della punta dello stelo in modo da favorire in nutrimento alla sola testa. Un altra settimana di attesa, il tempo che si allunghino gli altri steli ed arrivino più o meno tutti a livello e si procede con lo switch a 12/12 per partire con la fioritura (l’impostazione della lampada è ancora a 400w di potenza )

Week 1 germination 100% 1 shot glass of water was maker sure the soil was damp with sprayed around soil

Outside of issues that were due to my learning curb definitely happy with the results. The plant that is actually dolato has such a wonderful scent. If it was certain that I would 5 of 5 dolato plants instead of 2 out of 5 with a Gelato I would do it again

Definitely the best smelling stuff I've grown to date. The sweet fruity notes absolutely light up the tent every time I open it. And she's been a great candidate to learn my new phone's camera with. 8 week strain, so less than a month away! Definitely coming down before the others, that's for sure!

Not much going on yet. Added some 3d printed supports to make sure they don't start flopping over. Not sure if it's the strain, or my idiocy, but these bastards are soooo leggy. Grr. Watering daily to 15% runoff with MegaCrop 2 part in RO at 0.6EC and 5.6pH. Found Mega Crop gives very stable pH on the right range without any pH up or down needed. Took one day off (3/18) watering to water with Silica Boost at 6ml/gal concentration pHed to 5.4. PPFD 300 at canopy for DLI of 20. PPFD was about 20 for first week while I was prepping and sanitizing the grow room, which might explain the leggyness. If they don't look better after topping, I might pull them and try a different strain. 3/20 - this grow is inspired by the techniques of Bruce Bugbee (PPFD, nutrition, EC monitoring, substrate, environment, etc) and the concept of VPD control, both of which served me very well in the past. The grow room has dual PID controls in my PLC regulating the temperature and humidity to lock in the VPD based on plant age. In later veg and flower, I had CO2 injection on a PID, but that ultimately failed because I couldn't get the humidity down as it got huge. Had too many vent cycles. This year, hope to source or kludge an in-line dehumidifier so I can keep the sealed chamber where it needs to be without wasting CO2. 3/22 no more vertical growth, thank god, leaves and roots are slowly catching up. Patience. EC to 0.7

Day 82 - Added a new nutrient to bulk up on PK from Canna. Guide says to do this only once, so fingers crossed. Still trying to figure out how close I am. I keep seeing other pictures of what look to be near leafless buds, and the buds look absolutely huge. The problem for me as a first time grower is that I cannot figure out what the scale is, and so have no idea if the photos I see are very close up or not. Also, I keep seeing others pictures of what look to be really extended and pointy buds, and mine look nothing like those either. Can't tell if it's the angle or the actual shape. I'm sure I'll learn, and I'm pretty sure I'm on the right track. Loving the learning though. Such fun. And macro photography is hard.

We started the 8th week of flowering, the time of harvest is approaching, this last week we will use flawless finish to clean the plants of nutrients before cutting them. Possibly a week of flowering extra would be good, but in this case I will cut them after 8 weeks. The appearance is exquisite, full of resin and with an incredible smell. ———————————————————————— Empezamos la 8 semana de floración, ya se acerca el momento de la cosecha, esta última semana utilizaremos flawless finish para limpiar de nutrientes las plantas antes de cortarlas. Posiblemente les vendria bien una semana mas de floracion,pero en este caso las cortare a partir de las 8 semanas. El aspecto es exquisito rebosante de resina y con un olor increible.

Week 3 - Pre-Flower Good a little nuteburn I quess, this week only pH'd Water. I think the Nuteburn is because I used Root Juice for a longer time then advertised, so yeah.

Nearly there cany wait

I just completed my 8th week since the flip, so I flushed each of these girls by running about 2 gal of water through each. I got the PPM down into the 200s, which is about normal for my hard water. They are all displaying some nice big buds, which smell of sweet coffee.

Zwei entwickeln sich prächtig und machen das LST super mit die dritte wächst so langsam vor sich her

These buds turned out pretty good. Not a whole lot of bud but this was my first grow in the past 2 years. I’m very happy with each strain and how they turned out. The “OG” was definitely a lot more sativa than any of my other strains. Which I didn’t like because naming a strain OG is an indicator of strong indica dominance. But this strain was definitely more sativa. It was actually funny. My “sativa strain” finished earlier than my OG strain. But this is what I get for just getting seeds of the streets to grow. Which is why I’m very excited to be growing the tropic moon by ocean grown seeds. This strain is already doing great. I germinated 3 seeds and all 3 popped and are doing great. Check out my other grow journals if you want to see the progress on my next grow. Thanks for tuning in everyone. I really appreciate all the support and good vibes from everyone. ✌️

Thanks to all the sponsors of this run @Vipraspectra (LEDs) #xs4000 #p2000 #p2000 = 880watt full spectrum @Zamnesia (seedbank ) @Emeraldtriangleseeds @RoyalQueenSeeds Hey growers @IGROWNEIL (now on Instagram) this last week has seen amazing growth the plants have been super happy with the bigger feeds and the lighting moved to 18/6 saving on electricity is a must , 12£ gbp per day to 8£ gbp , saving 4£ a day is about 300£ per run saved which will now pay for new pots and more nutrients from @terra_aquactia and mabey there light mix soil The watered method of flood and allow to dry out works really good from seedling 🌱 Really happy with these results and really happy with my @viparspectraled lights #xs4000 and #p2000s also I'm using bio roots on this run which I do think is adding to the overall growth formation along with the lights themselves. Plants appear to have alot thicker stems from very young , plants all seem vigorous in growth and appearance seem all quite healthy plants . The new soil / coco @canna_terra professional plus is great stuff and also another factor I've changed to a lighter soil mix which is definitely helping out as it doesn't seem as compressed as the other soil without coco coir . @Terra_aquatica nutes being used along with @vitalink dairys have ratios being used but @terra_aquatica bio roots is doing me well and my plants seem to love the bigger feeds I will be moving over on my next run to @terra_aquatica nutrients line only I literally love the brand and how the owner relates to his own business and plant research 🙌 Extraction and intake @blackorchid @ramfilters All 12 liter fabric pots (amazon basic) and Thhefabricpot companys Soil - @canna_terra professional plus ➕ Had an amount of fungus knats that still presist having to make sure my soil is dry and ruffing up the top layer to stop any eggs being layed down the knats are a problem and this has put doubts in my usage of this soil again as I used about 240liters which is 5 bags at 18£ GBP each 90£ on soil to then cause me more money and additional problems in a big run isn't something I can let slide as this could seriously harm financially by reducing the amount at harvest. Okay plants @zamnesia Gorilla glue Doing amazing, thicker stems , bigger leaves , did notice some calmag or N defenices leaving me to increase calmag and nitrogen, but doing really well with the LST also and start to increase the size of the Bottom branches as we can create many tops instead of the one main on weeks 3 and 4 days 21 to 35 will see the main phase of stretching Girl scout cookie's loving the growth and the girl with the leaves purple 💜 underneath are pretty cool 😎 Runtz 🚫 automatic Study looking plant doing super under some LST hopfully see some more of the bottom branches catching upto the main colas before I hit them with netting @royalqueenseedsrqs #dosido Expected more from these girls but there starting to come back a bit faster now hopefully this keeps up @emeraldtriangleseeds #lemonhazeauto Doing well under LST being a sitiva I'm gonna watch closely for major sprouting. #headlightskushauto Doing well also under LST any defenices you see on plants will be me getting used to this new soil which I'm finding tempermental and a problem with knats #blueberryauto Coming back to life this little girl has surprisingly gained some traction keeping a close eye on her as I can't wait to finally try Blueberry weed , proper stuff 🙌 Thanks all for liking and commenting 🙂 Please follow me on Instagram @igrowneil
