Added 80W LED lights below the canopy. Tilted the other 200W fixture to point into the canopy. Relocated circulation fans to keep air moving through the bush! Great flower development is continuing. The stretch is almost complete, but it is still stretching. Super cropping may be right around the corner. With one bucket removed from the system, the new system volume is right around 7-8 gallons.
9/23/2024
Forced to do a water change after a massive spike in PPM up to 2400. Cycled the system with about 5 gallons of pH water and pumped off about 4 gallons. Replaced 3 gallons containing appropriate nutrient concentration to get PPM back to 800 -900 range. Increased lights to 85%. Super cropped some of the lanky main stems that were growing right at the lights. Light directly over the plant is pretty much maxed out on height at this point. Looking to increase intensity by the end of this week to 90% and then to 100% by the end of week 5. Continuing to defoliate larger fan leaves a few per day.

Plant is looking incredibly healthy even after the water issues. Some trichomes starting to develop on sugar leaves and flowers. There are tons of flower sights, I am excited to see how they continue to develop!!!
9/25/2024
Moved the light up to its last hanging position. There are only a few more inches of adjustment left. Trying to avoid late supercropping if I can.
9/26/2024
Pruning large fan leaves and fan leaf overgrowth. Looking to leave a lot of the smaller leaves for sugar trim collection if possible. Humidity is not an issue yet, but working to maintain 50-60% is getting close to maxing out my setup. Continuing with light defoliation will hopefully help in managing humidity.

Have been adding pH-adjusted water as well as reduced nutrient concentration to keep PPM 800-900. Prioritizing bloom nutrients and keeping small amounts of micro and grow in the mix, diamond nectar at around 4mL/gallon.

So the tall royal gorilla( second from the left in the back. that, to me , looks like it has horrible genetics or it just couldn't handle the stress of topping and the burn. It's still gunna produce well just. Scrawny.
My critical thunder from msnl is shorttttttt love it for an Afghan cross. And the most green. And full.
Lots of calyxes are forming finally.
I removed the, now clear , male from the tent and I did something...... Well white trash ( no pun intended) . In my eyes. But in a ingenuity kind of way.
I got a cheap ass rolling trashcan meant for outdoors. Like 20$. I already had an extra. So I put the male in it and it fit perfectly. Cut off everything from the plant except the top of the two main stalks. It fits perfectly. I put a old light I used to use for seedlings in the top. And threw a light blanket over it. . I have it on the other side of the house. . Check the video. It's actually kinda cool 😂
Also feeding their flowering nutes next week. In SMALL amounts. I did add bud honey. Which does the same as just good molasses but better. This soil has a lot of micros and macros that'll love it.
But the rest of the girls are going fine and I'll be starting a new diary for be on the look out 😎

Mc2 much larger nodes naturally..light we defoliation

It’s so warm today! Of course I pulled all my plants out to spray with spinosad and feed/water.
*********
I use a Hudson 2L sprayer. My partner used to work in the film industry and they found this brand of sprayer gets the most thorough even coverage for makeup or whatever movie magic they use sprayers to create. It’s great.
*********
The larger gorilla glue has come around but I lost a few nodes. I’m seeing a little PMD, but I’ve been knocking it back when baking soda and water. I’ve been taking scalps, defoliating the big one gently and the little ones need almost daily lollipopping. I’m watching my ph and using more cal mag. I definitely feel like they are two different phenotypes.I have them on individual diets.
**********
Some fungal gnats come with the humidity so I topdressed with gnat nix. I don’t believe I overwater so I hope that’s the solution! I think I may wait another week or two and get things more stable before moving to flower. I will update video tomorrow when I have access to faster upload speeds.
**********
Added videos!

Day 36 - the girls seem to be happy, and are growing a bit different
One of them is flowring a bit faster and also starting to turn purple, the other is a bit slower but looks much more healthy.

I did partily harvest the Special Queen the microscope shows some orange/brown trichomes they are not enough to call her ready to harvest but just like with the Painkiller im scared of bud rot and next week will be raining non stop again so saftey first thats also the reason why i removed almost all the leaves, to improve airflow.
Honey Cream receives a good amount of fertilizer not sure if shes able to use it all since its getting cold and the sun is almost never shining.
I water with a concentrated solution because the ground is already soaking wet.
I guess i'll harvest the rest of the special queen this coming week.

02/06/2025, start of week 3, decided to do a bit of LST (tied down main stem) let's see how she responds.
Reduced humidity by around 8% to increase leaf VPD to between 0.7 and 1.0 kpa, and lowered the light a little more, increasing to around 300 PPFD for this week.
Hoping to see a bit of a rush of growth once she recovers from the LST as I expect flowering will start in the next 2 weeks and need her to fill out a.s.a.p
Update 04/06/2025, Looks like I should have probably waited for the next node to stretch a little and then tied her down as I could have brought the top full level with the the other shoots and perhaps encourage better branching as this particular girl doesn't seem to be very branchy, this may change though, will probably have to bend her again but time it better so I can actually tie round the very top instead of one node down and hopefully then encourage some real branching and filling out.
Another lesson learned for this rookie.
Update: 06/06/2025, fed at 1.2 ec ph 6.2.
Update 08/08/2025, end of week, should have waited at least a couple more days to water, she looks over watered, not terrible though and looking better this morning than yesterday morning, will make sure she is properly dry next time.

Hello. This is the end of week 3 and the beginning of week 4 of flowering.
Plants are finished stretching now and on their way towards fattening up.
The resin has started to flow now and I can see some on the edges of the upper fanleaves. Good sign.
I showed in the video that I blast oxygen into the reservoir water before the pump turn on. They get 3 minutes a day of solution
The 15 gallon reservoir will last 6 days if I do it that way. And I change the reservoir solution and clean on the seventh.
I water with rain water when they get dry. The rainwater here is around 6.5 ph. And It's soft water too.
It's been a cool spring here, but next week the high temps are coming.
I'm going to have to put up some shade cloth on the green house then to try to keep the temps down in there..
OK. Be Great.
Chuck.

Week 8
I started flushing this week. I’m using the green planet nutrient chart and it says flush using Rezin and Liquid Weight. The EC was 650 going in and 1500 runoff. PH going in was 6.5
PH runoff was 6. I’m using tap water that is around 360 EC coming out the tap. I’m going to flush for one more week.
The tricomes on the purple plant are actually purple. First time I’ve ever seen that.
