Top dressed with some more soil. The top was looking depleted and just want to keep it from completely taking all the nutrients from the soil. Added a mix of power bloom with azomite and glacial rock dust. I watered in with some pure protein dissolved into hot water then added to the water I was using at diluted levels. The second watering they got this week was with molasses. which also does a good job of dropping the ph of my water to the perfect level and a little bit of Epsom salt because I ran out of my cal mag and also want the plant to have plenty of sulfur. Buds are looking cool and remind me of little pine trees. At first glance it seems like they are starting to foxtail but the buds are fattening once the new growth on top starts to expand more. the main colas are almost a foot long each, but hard to tell because the planetary buds around the main colas are blocking them from getting a good picture. Amazed by how frosty the sugar leaves and even some of the older fan leaves are. Her smells are mostly sweet and candy-like. got a little sneek peak of what her fade should look like from one of the leaves being severed partially with a nice yellow and purple. She put on a decent amount of weight this week but towards the end,I can tell she's starting to slow down. Looks like it will still bulk a little more but noticing fewer white and more orange hairs. hoping all my plants finish around 8-9 weeks. i want to try to harvest them all at the same time if i can.

My @greenpointseeds Orange Blossom Special was a male so i deleted it here but left it outside since it was healthy and had a spicy sharp tangerine smell so ill get some pollens from it. Did slight defoliation. They too pretty! Any1 got pollens? NV USA Drinking 1/4gal a day each for 5 gallon is normal right? You can see the suttle differences. Tw is more lanky, more stretchy, zesty, more narrow fingers. Bruce is bushy, strong stems no wires needed, wider finger fan leaves. Just interesting to me.

*********Week 6 (Flower week) - January 14 to 20, 2020 (Days 36 to 42 from germination) The week went by pretty quick and overall and started to show more positivity. She finally set her buds 👍 and has taken off with more growth😃.....stretching. Wrestled with the idea that she might be a photo rather than an auto, had that one before, and wanted to ensure she was not. Moved her into the veg tent and with the lower light intensity and temperature she seemed to relax and finally set her bud sites......she is an auto......so why the heck so long to flip? Genetic issue or normal growth pattern??? Again, happy to see the growth but she will not be a producer of quantity so hoping the quality will be there😯😕😯 Have done some further cleaning on the bottom and removed a couple of small growing nodes. The branches were tiny and I want to keep her focused on the thicker branches she already has. Introduced Massive this week for bud density. She has become tall and lanky over the last two weeks. Not at all the growth pattern I was expecting.......would have definitely bent her top over had I known she would go like this😩 Wondering if I should bend over SW2 or not now😕 Keeping wet and happy is a balance. She was good with 2L last week and by the end of the week now she wants close to 3L. I also bumped up the CalMag on one of the feedings a bit to help ensure she doesn’t show issues. Won’t be using CalMag much longer as we are getting later in flower. Not sure how much longer to feed......will go another full 2 weeks for sure. I suspect she will run a full 10 weeks, then if allowing a 2 week flush you only go through week 8. Really don’t know what she is going to do at this point😕😕 Going to be interesting if her sister follows everything in the same manner.......she is in a 1 gal pot...downsides from 3 gal........live and learn Baby!!!👏👍 Little more detail: Jan 14/20 - Day 36 - only given 1L of plain water, pH 6.1 - no nutrients. - thinking she maybe a photo period......if so then I need to back up her medium to and end of veg state and get ready to run her in 12/12 to flip her.......had happen with a Dinafem pack before. - that would suck.....another 7 weeks to go if she is. Jan 15/20 - Day 37 - 2L water - Dual Fuel & CalMag @ 0.5ml/L - 450ppm & pH to 5.7 - She is now 18" tall!!!!! A little odd compared to other diaries for this strain?? - Side branches firming up but the low ones are still soft. - Her Main stem is still soft as well.....more of what you expect in veg not flower......as a comparison. - Nodes growth is still odd, some nodes have four fan leaves for example? Jan 16/20 - Day 38 - 1L plain water only today. - She did not drink a lot yesterday. - SW1 & SW2 moved to veg tent under T5. - ThinkIng I will shock them a bit and see what happens. If a photo she should calm down and show signs of new growth.....too many hairs popping but grasping at straws here.....if she is an auto she should form buds in a couple of days??? - Set the temp in the tent to 82 degrees and humidity to 55%. - Moved light to 14” off top cola. Jan 17/20 - Day 39 - Nothing given today. No water.....dry out day. - She looked good this morning.....perky and happy - Leaves opened up and exposed buds........give her another day or so.......she is an auto......just really slow consistently through all stages. Jan 18/20 - Day 40 - 2L full feed plus 1L plain water added to reduce the ppm and not shock her.........740ppm and 6.1pH.......total watering 3L - nothing in PM.....pot still wet. - concerned about bud sites not getting enough light so moved her back into the flower tent in evening. - replaced CO2 in tent. - Very happy today and good growth with leave up. - 22” tall and 24” wide.. Jan 19/20 - Day 41 - 3L feeding again today. Full strength again but added Piranha and Voodoo Juice at 2ml/L as well.....975 ppm 5.9 pH. - full strength was 1275ppm so added plain water to bring down a bit. - runoff: 1130 ppm and 5.7 pH.....Start bringing up the pH now to 6.1. - Cut off two more low bud sites with tiny branches. - Tied her down more now to help make her wider. Reached up to a couple of the higher nodes I had left alone previously. - Seeing a Kush style long branches. She is now the tallest in the tent! Jan 20/20 - Day 42 - Awesome night after stripping. She is taller again and looks happy, more vibrant! - 2L plain water 6.2 pH in AM. - 2L plain water Sensyzime @ 2ml, LW8 & Rezin @ 1.5ml = 75 ppm 5.9 pH. In PM. - She seems happy. Filling out more on the side branching. - Bud sites are getting larger but still small overall........if like everything else with girl.......just give her time......patience😩😩😃👌 Have a great week fellow growers.......

Oct 2nd - flushed Congo ((d)Urban Poison and Northern Lights) last night to remove Salts built-up in the soil; 25 gallon min. ea. Guess how pleasant they were to move Back into the House? … down a flight of stairs lol. It may be from the Congo, but I felt like frickin Tarzan afterwards Oct 3rd, - plan is to let Congo dry out for another day or two or three. Natural Mystic may be fed tomorrow depending on the Soil moisture (being the first plant flushed) - when Congo is Fed next, that will probably be the last full-day of Light before Flowerings “Lites-out” - Natural Mystic looks Fresh Oct 4th - top-dressed surface with Kelp Meal, scratched it in - feeding N.Mystic tonight; very slowly…5.5L (reduced to 5.5L due to excessive run-off last feed; 33% of feed came out the btm) - reached a milestone with this Congo; next meal is 7L 5th - steady as she goes - day 3 since the flush, the moisture meter has dropped large enough on Natural Mystic, it was fed 6L over 70 minutes. Will see if the run-off is less than last week from slow watering: No, the run-off was actually more, with slow-feeding. Volume reduced. -realized there was no space BETWEEN THE POTS, to allow for any airflow… so I made some gaps in the floor-plan. Not rocket science, just N observation. Its going to help regardless of whether I can see the difference. 6th - Congo fed 7L, no issues

📅 Week 11 | 🗓️ Day 71–77 Day 77 – 3-4 week of flower 🌸 Lemon Cherry Runtz 🍋🍒 🔸Lemon Cherry Runtz is really kicking into gear this week. Buds are swelling up nicely, calyxes are plump, and the white pistils are shooting out like little antennas in every direction. Resin production is in full swing – the tops are already frosty, sparkling under the light, and the colas are stacking beautifully along the main stems. 🔸Leaves are looking strong and healthy – deep green with some subtle purple hues showing on the edges. No clawing, no deficiencies, and no signs of overfeeding, maybe she could use a little more nutrition.. Sugar leaves are already coated with trichomes, which is always a good sign that the plant is cruising in the right direction. 🔸This week I kept it simple: only water. I also cranked the SANlight up to 100% to push temps up a bit, and it worked out great. Daytime VPD now sits right around 1.4–1.6 kPa, which is the sweet spot. Climate is steady, airflow keeps everything dry, and the buds are staying fresh and compact. 📈 Current Conditions (Day 77) 🌡️ Day = 24.7 °C 🌡️ Night = 18 °C 💨 Humidity = 56.1 % 🌬️ VPD = 1.4 – 1.6 kPa 🔦 PPFD = ~1000 µmol (12/12) 🛠️ Setup (unchanged) 💡 2 x SANlight Evo 4-120 @100% ⛺ 120 x 120 x 180 Spiderfarmer tent 🍯 Pots: 18L fabric pots 🌱 Soil: Bio-Bizz Light Mix 💊 Nutrients: BIO Tabs 🌱 “Easy, organic, only-water method.

8/11 -As the trends been this grow--both plants have responded very well to waterings. Im watering every other day allowing the substrate to dry out a little bit which encourages really good root growth. -I looked back to my previous grow diary to compare this grow to last at week 6 and oh boy am I blowing my old grow out of the water. Learning is a wonderful thing. -Stilts I put Cheese on seem to be working very well. Im starting to see a stretch on Cheese! Going to do some more LST to further even out the canopy. -Cream Cookies is really filling out and its undergrowth is really growing well. It's also starting to develop a strong odor! Awesome! A little bit about the nutrients: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE NUTRIENTS! Not for the pH perfect technology but for how easy it is to feed my babies with these nutrients. I used to use General Hydroponics flour duo (micro and bloom) and that was such a huge pain in the ass to mix solutions. Every week would be a different ratio of both Micro and Bloom. Super confusing and really easy to screw up. This Sensi line from advanced nutrients is insanely easy. You just add an equal amount of both Grow/Bloom A+B in a specific concentration and that's it. All the necessary nutrients that the plant needs will be available for it if it needs it. It also doesn't burn my plants at all. At the beginning of my grow I was thinking of buying an TDS meter to tune the concentration of my nutrient solution. As a chemist, I felt I didn't need this as I can do the math and calculate TDS based on the species present in the concentrated nutrient solution--I never had to do this. Ive found that the best concentration to feed is around 13 mL/gal. Anything more is just too concentrated and my plants did not like it. SUPER HAPPY WITH THIS NUTRIENT LINE. LIFETIME CUSTOMER NOW. 8/14 -Both plants doing extremely well still with no issues. No Ca/Mg deficiency spots observed on any more leaves. -Canopy is getting quite thick once again-going to do defoliation this week. -Both plants are stretching like crazy--probably going to lower Cheese to encourage more of a stretch. -LST worked wonders evening out the canopy. -Cream Cookies is starting to really smell! -Going to sprout 2 more cream cookies plants this week with the hope to keep plants in a flowering rotation. The hope is to always have flowering plants under the lamp! 8/15 -Did some defoliation to create some breaks in both canopies to allow for some light to penetrate to the lower leaves -Original fan leaves started wilting and turning yellow so I trimmed them. -Trimmed lower fan leaves on Cheese: they were so big that they were blocking a huge amount of light to the newer growth. Id rather light hit the new growth than the old growth. -The differences in both plants are starting to show. There is a little satire (~30%) in Cream cookies and you can see it in the fan leaves. They just aren't as fat as cheese. Cheese fan leaves are so short and fat its really cool. Cheese is also growing a little bit shorter than cream cookies. -Makes sense since Cheese is a heavy indica auto flower while cream cookies is a indica dominant hybrid. 8/16 -Boy are both plants stretching. Lamp raised from 15 to 18 inches. -Flowering is in full swing for both plants. -Every other feeding cycle is going very well. Going to increase to 600mL next feeding. Curious to see how they'll respond. 8/17 -My last grow has all sorts of issues so I think its kind of comical that all of my entries this grow are about how nice the grow is going day by day. Really is awesome seeing the things you learn over time come to fruition. -Have three weeks of time lapse video, when you speed it up 8 times you can really see the explosive "stretching." it happens almost so quickly that it looks like the video skipped forward in time. Cant wait to post the final time lapse video at the end of the grow!

Well, my organic vegetables garden, in anticipation of growing weed has been at rest for twenty months. I started to amends with green manure from legumes and lawn mowing (expecially the last month, for ready availability of N). I've mixed 1 gallon of Vigor Plant Full (perlite, guano, peats) to improve drainage. All the roses around, the apple tree and the hedges were treated with deltamethrin so as to preventively reduce the population of aphids, whiteflies & red spiders. My vegetables & weed eventually will receive only spraying of nettle macerated. My girls spent the previous week outdoors night and day in their pots savoring the discrete temperature changes in my area. Now in the evening I will have to pay close attention to broadnose weevils and later to bedbugs. It will be a tough fight against the wind and heat. A whole week of full sun awaits them. Pineapple Kush shows strong genetics, she has tolerated very well strong wind and full sun (28 C° average temp) asking for watering twice a day. Maybe it will be the southern sun but she already smells slightly. 🤞

I will probably veg these an extra week or two before flipping them. Was going to make this the final week but I don’t think they’re quite there yet.

Day 57 about to do my first schwazz Day 60 did a heavy defoliation. Not quite a schwazz. Almost Filled a 2 gallon bucket up with clippings a lot more light and air penetration is available. I think she’ll bounce back nicely Day 64. As the week comes to an end. I am very pleased with the progress. Canopy is nice and even. You can’t tell which one is the main cola. And for a little 300 watt light even the lower flowers are getting pretty dense. Still a long way to go. I would imagine this one will take over 90 days before see Amber. But we shall see

Week 11 August 11 —- Breeding Project—- We recently had a run of Sour Diesel and I decided to take the only male from that batch and cross it to some clones, one being the Cerezaz strain. The goal of this cross is to find faster flowering (45-55 days) plants and also increase yield as the Cerezaz is a timid producer and Sour Diesel is generally a medium to high yielded. Other characteristics we are looking for are: sour, berries, cherries, diesel, gas on the nose ( although unique combinations are welcome), decrease light sensitivity( Sour diesel was sensitive to light intensity) as well as breed in some resistance to heat from the Cerezaz as she did outstanding in 90+ heat indoors. Currently this batch of Polyhybrid F1s are exhibiting mostly the sour diesel traits: generally more tall and lanky, leaves closer to the main stem and drooping( as seen in some landrace sativas) and the stem rub is chemical, soap astringent with a slight savory berry backend with large fat fingered leaves. The other pheno is squat with very good lateral side branching and grows slower height wise medium sized leaves and the fingers are neither skinny nor fat but generally on the thicker side. Similar nose on these but more Cerezaz leaning so the berry, cherry sweet is more noticeable. With all that being said these ladies are top dressed and just got flipped into flower! So come along for the ride! 💪🏾

Day 8 - First official day of veg and both ladies are looking good and on schedule for a couple of changes. Nutrients: 10ml of Hydro A & Hydro B were added to both buckets (10L of water in each bucket) PH: the Milwaukee PH controller was set to work - starting at a PH of around 7.6 - 7.8, it slowly worked down to a perfect 6.0 over about 50minutes. Lights: The lights were readjusted to be 60cm from the seedlings who are all between 8-10cm tall and the intensity of the lights were increased to about 70% brightness. Day 9 - Both plants are taking nicely to the adjustments and I am happy with the progress. Temp and humidity are stable and PH is controlled. Day 11 - The second nodes are clearly visible today for both Chong and Max which would hopefully put them at 3 nodes by the end of the week - right on schedule! Day 13 - The ladies seem to be showing some signs of heat stress, so thinking about adjusting the lights after their period of dark today because they are due to be adjusted tomorrow anyway for the new week of veg

This week unfortunately I am taking the not so good frosty gelato out of environment... Been 0% progress and not enough bud sites to keep her. One of each left - Vanilla Frosting & frosty gelato Both still looking fabulous the flower nutrients have now been removed leaving the ripen at full strength but cal mag is now half the amount Next week is start of flush week.
