Flowering looks awesome on the ChemDog! Lots of bud sites and they're growing at a respectable rate. ATF's are running 3 plants in 3 diff stages- one's a couple weeks into flower, one's just starting,and one's still the holdout. Meanwhile, I've got flowering on the Night Nurse and one of the Viper Cookies. The rest are close but I can't say for sure they've transitioned. Weather's getting into a hot and humid phase, gotta watch that ChemDog. Think it's got a decent structure for ventilation but I've read horror stories on how the Dog loves mold. Further training of the branches has been fruitful, I'm seeing a lot more topside bud sites than usual. I'm working on irrigation-- I set up a 30 gal container and it works for drip, but without a pipe system it's still one at a time, although I have to admit it's worth it to save my back. Plus, I have to have a supply ready for use in case my buddy needs to fill in for me and water the ladies. Been checking the cameras regularly ( I have them all throughout the property, game cameras with IR flash), and to date haven't seen anything that would constitute a threat. Just some curious raccoons and one really ugly opossum. Even the skunks don't bother them this year, which is nice but a little strange considering they dig in them every year. It's really just the animals I'm watching for, people aren't as much of a concern. Mostly because I don't know any. Aside from that, I sleep with my head feet away from my babies, so somebody would have to have big brass ones to even try. Yes, I know, a little overprotective. Fingers crossed it'll be one hell of a harvest (by my standards). 8/11 Update: Been lucky still with the weather, but it's turning really humid. Fed the girls this morning, a mix of 1C molasses and 1/2C epsom salt in 20 gallons. Just a little supplement to the tiger bloom they've been feasting on. Speaking of the Tiger Bloom, I can't help but think I'd do just as well mixing my own nutrient solution, since the cost really adds up quick. For his year, however, it'll be fine. My watering gizmo is working well, just leaks a tiny bit and that's fine for the remainder of the year. Now that I have an idea of what works for me I can spend the off-season setting up something right. Had to thin out the Lamb's a bit, it wasn't getting anywhere near enough air flow. Also took a few on the ChemDog as I'm expecting mold/rot conditions for a while and she's prone. Shouldn't have much problem, wind blows almost constantly here, but you can never be too careful. Training is taking well, overall they look pretty good. Next year-- bigger grow bags, better soil, and much pickier seed choices. I think I may even abandon the idea of topping them in the future-- it just slows them down and you can get the same end results with training. Granted, my ladies are kinda sparse and ugly, but that's the learning curve. Next time around I think I have a pretty good idea of what to do and when to do it, based on what worked and didn't work this year. Another big thing is nutrient timing-- I def jumped the gun on flower power for a few of them and it just stunted them wicked-- shoulda continued veg food a couple weeks into flower even for the early bloomer, she'd be a monster.

***** Week 7 Veg - January 16/21 to 22/21 ***** Week 7 will be their last week being able to take them out of the tent๐Ÿ˜Ÿ SCROG netting going in on the weekend ahead. Not really a lot to report this week as the girls are doing well and I am just wanting their side branches to grow longer to help filling in the canopy anyway. Performed more LST this week and bending over the branches daily. Didnโ€™t do any HST this week, will once the net is in and I have a better visual of how the branches need to bend. They have come a long ways over the last 2 weeks when you look back at pictures. They have filled out with more side branching and other than battling a little purple striping on the main stems they seem pretty happy. Leaf colour is good and should be in good shape for the flip soon. Will go through all of week 8 before flipping so hopefully week 9 will be transition week and week 10 the start of flower.......have to get through next week first though๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘ Switching over to tap water again. I have been struggling with calcium and magnesium deficiencies on all grows for the last year. I canโ€™t seem to get the right amount added back to the RO water I use in all feedings. So running with straight water again now. Ppm coming out is 325 so I will work with that. Going to explore my own RO system in the house rather than bottled water, a system that adds back calcium, magnesium, and iron. Itโ€™s been flowing okay for the first week and will continue on for now. Using RO water I have been feeding full strength on the nutrients and have been working on backing them down a bit to compensate for the starting point of 325 now. They have continued to be fed once a week roughly and supplemented with calmag and microbes. Little more detail....... Jan 16/21, Day 43 Veg - 3L each of full line at full strength in RO water - 1150ppm and 5.8pH given to the girls - didnโ€™t add any other nutes other than IPP line. Jan 17/21, Day 44 Veg - dry out day - pulled down all the girls again tonight to train them outwards. - side branching doing very well on Candyland girls. Jan 18/21, Day 45 Veg - 3L for each girl today with tap water and CalMag @ 1ml, Microbes @ 2ml, Natureโ€™s Candy @ 1.5ml - 700ppm and 5.7pH is what that works out to. - have to use a considerable amount of pH down to adjust the tap water, over 6ml in 16L Jan 19/21, Day 46 Veg - measured the girls today and Candyland1 is 14โ€ tall and CL2 is 13โ€ tall. They were topped already๐Ÿ˜€ - dry out day for the girls. Jan 20/21, Day 47 Veg - 2.5L each with plain tap water - 295ppm and 5.8pH. - all the girls are looking big and bushy today.......they are ready for flip soon. Jan 21/21, Day 48 Veg - dry out day for the girls. Jan 22/21, Day 49 Veg - pulled all the girls down again......repeating the same LST each day manually rather than tying down for now. - this should be water day but leaving for today as I am going to lolipop the lower branches and a heavier leaf stripping tomorrow. - will feed tomorrow as they will benefit more. Very solid week ETS......the girls are taking off and expect to see lots of leaves popping out over the next couple of weeks๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘ Work on reducing the small stresses they seem to be experiencing more next week.......continue tap water and give a feed with Epsom Salts new week.

- Wk 7 of Flowering - Added some Liquid KoolBloom to the mix this wk - Not sure if this is a bad thing to introduce suddenly but I got my hands on some and though 'what the hell' - buds are getting much fatter, not sure if this is a direct result though - started feeding at lower PH to absorb more manganese but then what looks like a manganese deficiency started popping up in my BD plant, will monitor run off PH and EC - plants still small amazing and are starting to show some heat stress signs because I lowered the humidity in the tent gradually by 2% every day until I got down to 43% - some of the leaves are starting to curl so I'm guessing it's stressing the plants slightly - I've read it's good to lower humidity for the last few wks of flower for good taste/smell, so we'll see - trichomes are more abundant but I was expecting more tbh, we'll see what happens in the next few wks!

Day 21 from seeds they were transplanted and seem to have temporarily slowed down a few days now picking back up. Definitely different in plastic when Iโ€™ve been using fabric for the last little while. Beautiful colours and bushy structure. Iโ€™ll let the top stretch some more before I do any training. Hot sunny โ˜€๏ธ wknd up here hopefully much share the same weather โœŒ๏ธ

No joke she is FAST! Once she got her roots in and I was able to not over water the seedlings this time, growth just blasted off! Just a little water here and there

Sheโ€™s a beauty like her sister purple punch! She was number 2 to pop up (strawberry pie) and took to training straight away top of the class on mission catch up to purple... I defoliated and tied down through the weak shape shifting her into a lovely little bush! She has started to show signs that she also will start her pre flower stretch, so Iโ€™m excited to see what happens! I shuffled them around to suit age height etc as I will have to start raising my lights! In bloom I set these mars hydro leds to 12โ€ and 18โ€ during veg!

We on the cusp of the end ! Starting my flush this week to get that ultra super smooth smoke and flavour . The ladies have displayed quite the amount of purple on the leafs and some nugs . GG#2 is displaying far far more purple then GG#1 they are indeed different pheno's its gonna be quite the treat to taste the difference between the two . I've watered them already twice now with Flawless finish . Now it's just straight PH corrected water till we reach home base ! A special thank you goes out to everyone who comes down to the diary . You guys rock and I wish you all the best . Another thank you goes out to all my followers that I've gained along my journey ! Stay tuned for them daily updates and weekly video's guys much love ! -Happy Growing!

Hi GD Family, A big thank you to Green house Seeds Co, for selected to test their new US genetic. My previously run was a #Wonder Pie came from this bank, and i'm verry happy of the result. So, I'm pressed to see what this strain has in the belly !!! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Puted the seeds into a glass of mineral water to activate them. Then, putted them between two papels of towel until the germination. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The first four seeds did not germinate. I gave two more to germinate on June 20, in less than 24 hours, with the same method previously writed, the two germs came out !!! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Peace to all โœŒ๏ธ๐ŸผโœŒ๏ธ๐ŸปโœŒ๏ธ๐ŸฟโœŒ๏ธโœŒ๏ธ๐ŸพโœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿฝ
