this strain responds well to training and indoor grow spaces, seems robust and resistant enough to be worth a try outdoors as well. this freebie was a great experience, and was the largest plant in my grow by a notable margin. cheers

This cycle was all along a great pleasure. The plants developed MUCH BETTER THAN EXPECTED, the result under the Q6W-Gen. 2 LED lamps from SANlight is FANTASTIC. I have NEVER harvested more from plants of the same strain under HPS and the quality of the bud (trichomes, taste aroma) is MUCH BETTER when grown under LED, my decision is definitely made, I will continue to solemnly grow with LED-lights in the future. I harvested 2250 gram of Shiva Skunk and 3009 gram of Serious Kush, that a total amount of 5259 gram. In relation to the 3000 Watts (incl. dimmed part!) power of the LED-lights thats an AMAZING 1,753 gram per Watt.

9/11 Wed. 12 am Raised lights and the watts. NYC is tall now even after topping. Looking really nice. 5 am lights up to 88W didn't raise the light any higher. 330 pm Got some nice shots of NYC, She is getting tall so I may top her twice and keep the bottom 4 colas, not sure yet. 9/12 12 am good. 2 am light up to 93W and raised 3 clicks. 93 at 8 to 14 inches for the shorter plants should be enough power. 2pm. Spent 6 hours putting in extra dirt and perlite and cut NYC in half!!! She's too tall for this grown, but Im sure I can still do just great with 4 colas well trimmed!! 9/12 11 pm. They are doing good NYC is growing good after 2nd topping. GOAT is doing great. 9/13 12am Cutting NYC in half yesterday worked!!!! She's doing great. GOAT is great too 9/13 12 am. Moved 3 plants that were small into their own tent. 2:30am They are doing better in the new tent with more space. 9/14 4 am.I used 1 gram of Maxibloom Powder and .6ml of purpinator yesterday will keep the mix for a few days 9/15 Looking good light up to 95. Got some nice pics of GOAT forming flowers, her leaves have a peach color the microscope pics are good. had to get a new one.

Great week this week, inside the tent and out. Carl 2 is doing great, and has mostly acclimatized to the winds and heat of the outdoors. UKBS 2 is seemingly recovering (knock on wood) from whatever was degenerating it's stem. It must have been mold or something similar as about 1/3 of the stem became dead wood and had to be removed carefully. I've been trawling the internet and all sources of horticultural forums I possibly can, and yielded somewhat inconclusive results. Everything from ants, to mold, to stem borers. None of which seemed to have been the case here. In any case, I took a whole ton of cuttings from UKBS 2 and am attempting to root them. Great genetics, and not to sound like a broken record but I'd hate to lose such a vigorous pheno. =-= Inside the tent, things are also going quite well. UKBS 1 is getting quite chunky, seems to be an interesting pheno. As for Carl 1, oh boy. I came to find out that this strain is a real interesting one. According to the breeder, it's a cross of C99 grapefruit x "D" Haze; pheno hunted and backcrossed in the 90s and stabilized over nearly 30 years. Loooooooong flowering times. In other news, the timelapse is out as well. Updates as usual. -6/3/2021 - Busted out the Rebel T5 and took some real nice budshots. Carl 1 is quite frosty, UKBS 1 is quite chunky. Also got a cool upskirt shot. -6/8/2021 - First orange pistils showing for Carl 1, looking real good. The clones of UKBS 2 are all doing well apart from one of them.

Too much N is observed and also some heat as there is an heatwave again and inside the tent it was around 31 c°, i only used half dosis of iguana grow in a light mix and it still seems to be too much, the ppm was around 380 so not sure if its just heat stress, but i think they will be fine, i will just only give water the next week and apply some slow absorbing nutrients on the top of the soil, something like guanokalong or biobloom, im sure they will be fine 😁

Siccome ho usato i feeding greenhouse su questa auto a quanto pare troppo concentrati per le autofiorenti ,ho sfiorato una over Fert quindi adesso sto facendo un flush per vedere se riesco a migliorare la situazione dei sali in eccesso

4/10/2023 Week 1- Day 1 of Flower (Day 68 overall) So when I looked in the tent today the leaves were just above the Net. They hit my " I have to flip mark" so I did just that I flipped them today. I drained the system and filled it with Week 1 Day 1 Flower Nutes. The lights are set to turn off at 8:00pm EST and will turn back on tomorrow at 0800 EST and everyday for the rest of the Grow. To get my water change schedule back on track to Saturdays, since I had to flip tonight on a Tuesday, I will wait 1 week and 5 days instead of the typical 2 weeks for my first change out of the system, so not this Saturday coming up but the following Saturday. I added 36 Gallons of Water Mammoth Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil Root DRIP = 1Mil/Gal= 36Mil CalMag= .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil FloraMicro = 5.2Mil/Gal= 187Mil FloraGro= 4.3Mil/Gal= 155Mil FLoraBloom= 5.2Mil/Gal= 187Mil TPS SIGNAL= 1.0Mil/Gal= 36Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil PPFD= 680 Water Temp= 71.4 Tent Temp= 77 Humidity =59 4/11/2023 Week 1- Day 2 of Flower (Day 69 overall) Nothing to report day of rest of me and the plants as they get used to the flowering mix and the new lighting schedule. 4/12/2023 Week 1- Day 3 of Flower (Day 70 overall) Heavy De-foliation was necessary.. A few branches are close to where I can SCROG them down. 4/13/2023 Week 1- Day 4 of Flower (Day 71 overall) Super Cropped it and SCROGed it down to the net, I will keep and eye on it and take action as different branches reach over the line. 4/14/2023 Week 1- Day 5 of Flower (Day 72 overall) I defoliated the canopy some and I cleaned up some of the under bruch that was getting no light. Deep in the middle and low under the canopy. I also did a little Super Cropping of any branches too far above the canopy. 4/15/2023 Week 1- Day 6 of Flower (Day 73 overall) Continued defoliation of the top bottom and front and some heavy defoliation of the backs of the plants today.. 4/16/2023 Week 1 - Day 7 of Flower (Day 74 overall) Did Some Heavy Defoliation of the stuff on the inside that isn't getting any light and I cut off anything that I found that seems weak and is still just not making it to the canopy. I also did some super Cropping of the branches as well SCROGing it down. I added 10 gallons of water to they system the ladies have been thirsty and I added additional Week 1 Flower Nutes to the mix. 10 Gallons Add Mammoth=.5mil/Gal= Weekly TOP UP + 10 Gallons Add TOP UP= 36 Gallons = 18Mil +10 Gallons = 5Mil Total= 23Mil Root Drip= 1Mil/Gal= 10Mil CalMag=.5Mil/Gal = 5Mil FloraMicro= 5.2Mil/Gal = 52Mil FloraGro = 4.3Mil/Gal = 43Mil Flora Bloom = 5.2Mil/Gal = 52Mil TPS Signal = 1Mil/Gal = 10Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal = 5Mil PPM = 721

🌿 Grow 🀝 Freunde 🌱 🌿 Update – Tag 55 in der BlΓΌte (DWC) Jetzt sind wir offiziell im Finale. Die Lady’s zeigen sich in absoluter Bestform und wirken klar erntereif. Die Buds sind maximal verdichtet, extrem frostig und stehen stabil bis in die unteren Etagen. Das Canopy ist voll geschlossen, gleichmÀßig und schwer beladen – genau so, wie man es sich kurz vor dem Chop wΓΌnscht. β„οΈπŸŒΈ Auf den Bildern und im Video sieht man deutlich: Die Trichome sind ΓΌberwiegend milchig, mit etwa 5 % bernsteinfarbenen KΓΆpfen – perfektes Zeitfenster fΓΌr ein ausgewogenes, kraftvolles Endprodukt. Die Sugar-Leaves sind komplett ΓΌberzogen, Harzproduktion auf Peak-Level.

Feb 19th, - week 9 of flower sees a lot of subtle changes going on. The smell at the door is one, and it’s becoming a very dense and dark odour. Fruit-like up close. - Molasses doubled as root boosters get removed and Calimg has only 1 feed left, tonight. - Mar 1 is the tentative flush, first day of week 11 in flower. Those will be a long couple of weeks, feeding h20 & sugar only - noticing the stems of Fan leaves are turning Red/Crimson on L plant. A few are in the R as well. ** question asked about Red Stems ** 23rd - noticing a definite increase in the Trichomes of the Buds, under the UVB (pics tonight). There are simply more now and it’s kinda obvious when side by side. Lite spill from uvb is falling on the left plant as well, but not from 14” - feed tonite will include a bit of CaliMag once again moving forward and a lingering taste of Medi-One. - Trichomes were checked today. As happy as I was to see a few Amber ones. They were very wide-spread with most of the others still 50/50 clear and cloudy. - Based on todays Trichome check; hoping to flush ~ Mar 7 now. That will be the end of 11 complete weeks of Flower. FYI: Breeders expectation "11-12” weeks. Happy to see it linger a bit, diet, humidity and lighting changes have been incremental throughout. How quickly the next changes happen ie: clear to cloudy etc., I have no idea. Would love to see ~ 10% Amber, just enough to say it’s Very ripe. ( Not in any way thinking of couch-lock lol ) - literature & product labels on Humic Acid recommend usage throughout Veg & Flower... just Not the last 3 weeks. That rules this batch out... So the next batch(s) get introduced. - Macro shots tonight of the Buds under the UVB... cannot wait. ** found 1 bud on the R plant, that had quite a bit of Amber showing. Nowhere to be seen in the L plant, but it looks like a high concentration of Cloudy Trichomes on the L regardless. One more serious search tonight of the R plant and it may just be time for a rinse. Surprised to see so many Ambers, alone on this one bud. Pics uploaded ! re: 24th a.m. Feb24th, - when the lights came on this evening, I did another thorough check on both plants and there were more Amber trichomes found. Ready or not, both plants were Thoroughly flushed. - Flush aid used in the process. - 10 Litres of Water was mixed with Molasses / Rezin as the first liquids poured into the plants, after the Flush... - when it came right down to it, the sudden appearance and then rapid spreading of the Amber Trichomes made it an easy call, to flush both plants. Thoughts on the amount of white hairs left... they have a couple weeks to get their shit together... if I can get a couple weeks of flushing-in, that’s a definite bonus. 25th - humidity spike in the Tent. doors are cracked and a floor fan has been added for extra air flow. Exhaust fan increased... 26th, no liquid to remove from the plants btm Trays, but still showing a high humidity. R.H. coming down slowly, aimed the fans at the fabric pots... doors cracked etc. * why mess around, hooked up the dehumidifier... R.H. dropping, end of issue

Total Days: 70 Flower: 31 Vege growth is stopped or very slow at this point. Might eke out another inch or two. I'll raise the lights as far as they can go soon (only 3-4" for the 650w light on right), but with the higher operating RH%, I've yet to see any pistil burn. The light cycle shift to accomodate the painters definitely stressed 2 plants. One was removed. The second i am retardedly going to keep. I stripped off lower weak buds that had the nanners. Pruned a few weak axilla, too. The nearby plant pistils are lily white, so it should be fine. The pistils will be changing color soon, so that will no longer be a good way to assess the risk going forward. Meh, I know it was caused by light stress, so any seeds not selfed I'll probably keep them. Overall, I'm relatively happy with development. Need to adjust some procedures in next cycle and maybe a few more tweaks in winter 2025-1. Second irrigation went well, but i did find a partially clogged emitter. Probably a plastic bit from hold-punching. With 8 emitters per pot, the overkill makes it irrelvant and the pot wasn't the slowest to finish. A few emitters has some roughly milled inlets. I'll inspect them all over the next couple weeks and replace some as needed. Just realized my new dehum was glowing in my tent the entire time. Luckily the display was facing away but now has a cardboard flap blocking it. If it was fine before, it's even safer now. Photons had to bounce of a wall and travel 5' before it could hit any plant. ----- Early update before end of week upday: So, I've been procrastinating replacing the irrigation setup. It's slowly gotten worse each year (3rd ongoing), but never had the dripper devolve into a dribble. I've been hand-watering 1 or 2 pots the last week or so. Replacing the mini sprinkler heads only fixed 1 of the problem-pots. Think the fittings are leaking on the one that did not improve. All the pvc is gone. All the 1/4" manifolds and tubing are gone. The per plant adjustable nonsense is the worst idea ever as all it does is cause pressure changes and endless tweaking of all the little sprinklers, because changing one impacts all the others, or a speck of dirt might cause a new imbalance that requires adjustments etc - Fucking nightmare of useless repetitive behaviour. Still have the 3/4" ID lead-in, heavy duty, 450psi graden hose with ball shut-off valve and pressure regulator. That is now connected to a 3/4" wye with two 1/2" irrigation tube adapters attached to each end. This forms a loop around the pots with a 1/2" tee per pot that leads to a gate shut-off valve and eight 2-gph pressure compensating emitters - 96 in total. Will do first test run on Sunday. The great thing is that this is all plug and play when I switch to injectors. That'll require some sort of pvc manifold and check valve at the utility tub, but otherwise just connect hose, and it's golden. That's the next step. I'll also re-incorporate the wifi-enabled solenoid valve at that point. Getting rid of the 55-gallon reservoir and pump would be nice. One less thing to maintain (rez) and less things that can break down (pump / powerhead). ------ Sunday Test Flawless first run. Time will tell if they are resistant to clogging, but optimistic at this point. 18psi operational pressure at the irrigation loop. Didn't even need the regulator. The mesh strainer at the pump intake doesn't have the typical, small air-bubble, so the last setup was letting a little air in. The last setup was fatally flawed. Pressure compensating emitters for the win. They didn't even squirt wildly as the air was expelled from empty tubing on first run. Took ~4mins or so. Some pots finished a bit sooner, but that's because they don't drink as much per 24 hours. I can live with that kind of waste. I'll get the timing down to reduce water usage even further. I don't need to wait for every pot to exhibit runoff as that is beyond 10% runoff needs. Might be able to get 4 fertigations before refilling reservoir instead of 3. We'll see. I don't like the minimum ~12-15 gallons sitting over night. It fouls the reservoir faster at low volumes. Anyway, super geeked. They better not clog easily, lol....

Days 78-84 - Been lax in updates, but I still log every week to completion. Back injury in addition to The Nineteen, Rona Style, has been a bit of a pain in the posterior. (That means ass) Plants are gigantic and sassy. Had Dangergirl come out and defoliate/lollipop the bottoms out of the girls, saving me painful labor and increasing my yields, so yay for her! Plants are happy, pompoms are getting thick, and everything looks good. Switched FF01 to flower on day 84.

*Week 4 Flowering 09/17* Blimburn - Apple Fritter (1) - 47 Inches Seedsman - Crititcal +2.0 (1) - 47 Inches Thus far no issues or concerns - Both plants are growing accordingly and are growing vigorously, Bud-sites are coming in heavy. Still growing in length. *Week 4 Flowering End of Week 09/23* Both Apple Fritter/Critical+2.0 have appeared to stop growing in length but have expanded in width in regards to the bud site development. Bud sites are blooming accordingly and trichome development seems to be coming along nicely as well. Nute feeds have remained the same/Plain water feeds have increased. *BACK TENT VIDEO ADDED - Apple Fritter (L) - Critical+2.0 (R) - 09/23*

I was doin LST on one gg4 clone and and zookies clone snapped the top of the gg4 and the zookies split in the middle put tape will see how it plays off today
