24 hours in a glass of water in darkness then directly in the soil. 3.2 gal fabric pot with Plagron's bat mix.

End of Week 9 of Flower. I can just taste those buds now! The smell is intoxicating and the view is picturesque. There is definitely a noticeable difference between the two pheno's but I suspect both will pack a good punch. There has been some purpling in some of the top leaves which I expect will increase with the drop in temperature the last week or so. I cant wait to get some good pictures at the end of the week as Ive decided the chop day will be this coming Sunday. The clash of yellow, purple and green is always my favourite so I plan to capture as much as possible since the next update will be jam packed with pictures of the girls just before their chop and after 48 hours of darkness to get the last of that resin production from the plant. I will also take some pics of the hanging plants in the drying cupboard. The reason I am leaving my plants in darkness for 48 hours before they get chopped, is that it has been long belived that this practice will increase the last of the thrichome production and some say increases potency. There has been a recent study in the Netherlands which does confirm increased resin production for plants left in 48 hours of darkness (they also tested 24 hours darkness but found 48 was better) at the end of their flower cycle. The chop has been planned to be pretty straight forward where I will just be taking off the main fan leaves and leaves with no thrichomes as well as chopping off the larfy/popcorn buds which will go straight in the freezer for a fresh frozen bubble hash run. I dont bud wash my flower as my tent gets a regular clean each week and always gets a full deep clean when every harvest is over and besides, its only me and my friends that smoke it! The drying cupboard I use for drying is a small cupboard designed for storing and drying clothes which I have put a carbon filter and fan as well as a small desk fan to circulate the air as well as a small dehumidifier just incase there is an increase in humidity. So the basics of drying is that you want the area where you are drying to be dark and fairly cool (its recommended to be between 15 and 22 degrees C), have a humidity level between 45% and 55%. I aim for around 21 degrees C temperature and 50% humidity. The drying time can vary depending on strain but its recommended to dry the buds for 7 - 10 days and I will explain further about how to tell if your bud is done drying and is ready to be cured on the next post. Drying is very important as you can affect all your hard work if the conditions arent right and the bud ends up too dry (luckily these days there are ways to fix bud thats too dry) or you end up with mouldy ganja which isnt save to smoke. Its also believed that a good long dry in good conditions helps increase potency and also has been shown to reduce anxiety. Anyway thats it for this week and I hope to see you all on the final post for the end of Week 10 of flower and the harvest! Until next week. ✌️

Plants are still stretching even through lollipop-ping and defoliating. I’m pushing the EC @ 2.2 and going to raise it to 2.4-2.5 in near future when adding PK 13/14. That smell of weed plant is growing but no actual hint of flavor yet. I was lucky enough to get strong vegetation growth during veg hoping for a super fruitful harvest. I’m almost certain I’ll be doing 10-12 weeks with these ladies.

May 26, 2024 Day 36 The first week of flower has started. Bring on the stretch! All 4 ladies are just finishing up with pre-flower and are looking wonderful. A bit to do today. We have watering, photos, reorganization and maybe a tie down or 2. We will see about the tie downs. Also need to measure height and light distance. DLI must be recorded as well. All 4 ladies are getting a half gallon of water today. And the start of the flowering nutrients. This week we start small with Bud Candy and Sensizym. There's more I could add, but I don't have it. Next week we will add Big Bud and week 3 will be B-52 and Tasty Terpenes. I may also add Cal/Mag Xtra at some point as well. Probably next week. Just to keep it all happy. I also have Recharge and may use that depending on how we are doing in a week or so. I don't have much so I don't want to waste any if I don't need to. Because this soil is hot, I don't expect to use much in nutrients. So it should keep my costs down. Just a little added boost. I also have Overdrive which I will be using the last 2 weeks of flower. At half strength instead of quarter. Sour Diesel A looks great. A little lopsided, but I can fix that next week when the tent frees up. She is roughly 16 inches tall and is missing a branch. I just noticed that today. There's a fan leaf there, it no branch. Weird. Sour Diesel B has the best structure of the group. She's about 15 inches tall with a perfectly level canopy. Some of the newer side branches have a little bit to go to get up to the rest of the canopy, but the lower side branches are all caught up to the top. They are also pretty well spread out around the containers edge. Sour Diesel C is looking like the smallest of the bunch. It's to be expected as she got a later tie down. She'll bounce back in no time. Her side branches are pretty level with her top of not a little taller. Her structure is shaping out to be pretty nice. Maybe a little on the shorter side and a bit more bushy. Sour Diesel D is starting to stretch now. She went from the shortest and smallest to the same height as B. Around 15 inches. Still no training. She has pretty good internodal spacing now and looks like she will be a standard Christmas tree structure. Eventually I'll have to pull her branches out to make room for more branches and better airflow. So far I don't have to do anything. I got a light measurement today at 30 mol/m²/d. About 10 mol/m²/d too low. Apparently it should be at 40 mol/m²/d, but I think the calculator I'm using isn't counting for the weeks difference from photos. I'm pretty sure it should be at 35 mol/m²/d now. Still 5 off, but at least it's not 10. That's a hell of a difference. So is 5, but it's only for another 5 or so days. Not to mention , they seem to be growing into the light quite nicely. It's still a long distance, but the power is up to 80% so it should be fine. The environment is really messed up today. Yet again it's super humid out. The temp was too low earlier, but now it's back up to 75°. The humidity is back up over 60% and was super high this morning at close to 70%. No damage that I can see and I know what happened and it's been resolved. My ac was set to 66° for the night and it didn't pull the humidity air out. It took me nearly 4 hours to get it to budge, but finally it seems to be leveling out. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.0° RH: 61.2% VPD: 1.13 kPa May 27, 2024 These ladies are looking great! They still have nice and moist containers AND some significant growth from Sour Diesel D. So far nobody seems to be unhappy with the watering and the nutrients. I know it was a small dose, but still a dose in hot soil nonetheless. Sour Diesel A looks fantastic! I did a different kind of bend today. Instead of following the edge of the container like I normally do, I bent the top back in toward the center of the plant. So now the big open space in the center is all filled in. It should also help increase some of the upper nodes growth speed. All in all, she looks great! I can't wait to see what happens with this bend. Sour Diesel B is still the start of the show. She has a flat canopy with long side branches. As she grows, it'll be really easy to access the base of the plant. Very excited. She'll definitely need some tie downs when the rest of the tent frees up. Only to spread out the branches and allow access to the auxiliary branches. It will all be done in 4 to 6 days. Sour Diesel C is now my small one of the bunch. She's not too tall and her branches are a bit short. I have a feeling if I don't get her into her own quadrant soon, she will end up being cannibalized by the other plants in the tent. It should t be a problem. Not to mention I have risers for such occasions. So we are definitely covered for this one. She also has some weak side branches. I believe it's due to being pressed against the walls of the tent. Or just not the strongest performer. Maybe she will end up in the 2x2 after all. We'll see in about 2 weeks. I'll do my best to not move her though. The light in the 3x3 is just better. Sour Diesel D took off last night. She started at 14" yesterday and today she is over 16" tall. She's definitely the first one to take off. It's because she didn't get my training, so there's no hormone changes or anything like that from LST. I think I figured that out. Even LST causes some stress, but mostly the hormones change and redirecting energy to the side branches. Tht has to take some time. Maybe a day or 2. We shall see. No one has had much training so far. Not like I normally do. The lighting is fine. They are definitely growing into it. I'm still going to adjust it ASAP though. I like perfect lighting. The environment is a bit wonky for them at the moment. The temp is a bit low and the humidity too high. The temp is t 74° with the humidity at 65%. Not good. I'm working on it, but it's really humid today. I'll be opening the tent periodically throughout this time to get fresh air in there immediately. It might not drop the humidity that much, but enough to give the plants a break from the wet air. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.3° RH: 60.9% VPD: 1.11 kPa May 28, 2024 More space opened up in the tent today. Harvested another plant. Sour Diesel A is looking great with her inward bend. She has a bit more space now that D is in another corner. I'll be able to train her out in just a few days. Sour Diesel B is just vibing. She looks great and has some fantastic side branching. can't wait to see how she turns out when I train her. Sour Diesel C got her own quadrant today. Let's hope the extra light helps her catch up to the rest of the group. She's not really that much smaller than everyone else. But she is smaller. Sour Diesel D grew another inch last night and isn't stopping. Her side branches are looking really nice and I believe she is shaping out to be quite a nice plant. The lighting will be fixed for these ladies in just a matter of days now. Until then it stays the same. The environment wasn't too bad today. Still super high at around 62%, but nowhere near 70%. It was up like that early this morning. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.6° RH: 63.3% VPD: 0.98 kPa May 29, 2024 Not much going on today. All 4 ladies will be watered tomorrow. But today was just the one pic. Sour Diesel A is looking spectacular. Her branches are all caught up and her canopy is nice and level. In just a few more days, I'll be trimming her out. Sour Diesel B is still the star of the show. Excellent side branching and beautiful canopy. She'll especially need water tomorrow. Sour Diesel C is looking really good. Shorter, but a nice level canopy. Healthy as a horse and doing her thing. I moved her out of the single quadrant and moved in Sour Diesel B. It just fit better this way. Sour Diesel D is hanging out in the back just doing her thing. She has excellent side branching and her Christmas tree structure is really starting to show. The light is the same. A few more days. The environment is even worse today. It's all humid and rainy out. Killing the good vibes. Temps is hovering around 75° and the humidity is spiking up to 65%. (It's even worse on the dry tent.) Quick update: I took the risers out from under the other plant. Now everyone has plenty of light space and no plants overshadowing. I also got to lower the light to 24". The power is at 60% and the DLI is 38 mol/m²/d. Looking good. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.3° RH: 63.2% VPD: 1.01 kPa May 30, 2024 All 4 ladies now have their own quadrant. The last plant was finally moved to the dark tent. Let the training begin. I'll start that tomorrow. They will also be getting a half gallon each and I'll be activating the bottom feed system. Sour Diesel A looks great! She will be a lot of fun to train out. Such good branching. Her canopy is already pretty level, but there's lower branches that need to catch up. The auxiliary branches also need to catch up. Best way to do that is to flatten out the canopy and give them plenty of light. Sour Diesel B is the same as A. She will definitely be a lot of fun to train. Same great branching. I may have to do it slightly different as I don't have an inward bend on this one. Her top is really tall like her branches, but also super stiff. I need to bend it down again to level out the rest of the branches. Just one more time. That will be the last top bend I would need. The rest will be side branching. Sour Diesel C is looking pretty good. She won't need as much training. As A and B, but training she will need. Mostly to keep her level with the rest of the tent. Sour Diesel D is looking really good without training. She seems to be staying the same height as A and B. She hasn't shot up yet, but I think that may happen in the next few days. The environment is still a bit of a mess, so I'm working on it. It should adjust over the next day. It's warm and dry out now, so the temp and humidity should level out. I'm looking for 77° and 50% humidity. I might have to put my second dehumidifier back in the tent to get it down to 50%. The temp is a bit lower than I want and I may increase the light power and raise it just to bring in more heat. I've turned the exhaust fan down and will sacrifice a little humidity. But I don't think I'll gain all that much. We shall see tomorrow once the reservoirs are installed and the ladies are trained down. I'm going to have to mess with it anyway. Grow System Environment: Temp: 71.7° RH: 59.0% VPD: 1.06 kPa May 31, 2024 Watering day! All 4 ladies got a half gallon top feed each. None of them had runoff, but they are still showing signs of too much water. It will be perfectly fine in a matter of hours. Anyway, I watered in a quarter gallon at a time, switched to another plant and back again to make the intended half gallon. I did add the nutrients as well. It's only 1 ml per gallon, so it should be perfectly fine. What I didn't do today is install the reservoirs. I just changed the light yesterday, so I don't think I want to mess with it again. So I'll install the reservoirs next week. They will need watering and then I can fill their reservoirs up and never have to top feed again. Sour Diesel A looks really good. Nice and strong side branches. Very healthy. Sour Diesel B got the same inward bend as A. The stem was finally long and pliable enough to get a really nice 90 degree bend. I also got to pull down a couple side branches. Now the canopy is spread out but still level. Looking great! Sour Diesel C got a couple tie downs as well today. I also had to anchor her trunk as it was leaning too far to the side. It worked a charm. I tied down a few branches to keep the canopy level. She's still pretty short. And I'm not sure how tall she will get, but I'm hoping the hormonal reaction to the tie downs will speed up growth. Sour Diesel D is the picture of health. Her side branches are nice and strong. Main trunk is hardening off and she's now taller than the rest by about 2 inches after they were tied down. This is, of course, to be expected with a plant I'm not training. It was a little cool in the tent today and I think a lot of it has to do with the light power. At 60% the light just isn't warm enough to carry the temp of the tent. So I increased the power level to 70% and checked the DLI. It's perfectly at 38 mol/m²/d for each plant. Dead center of the tent is about 45 mol/m²/d. I also added the second dehumidifier back into the tent. I think it will be a lot better than the other when the reservoirs are installed. It's smaller and blows from the top instead of the sides. Hopefully it's the only one I'm going to need during late flower. The current temp and humidity are perfectly fine for these ladies. 78° and 55% humidity. Just right for this week of life. I'll work to get it down to 50% over next week. I think I'll try to leave the temp at 78° it's great for now. I'll drop the temp to 74° in 3 weeks when the buds start to really swell. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.3° RH: 54.8% 1.21 kPa June 1, 2024 Last day of the first week of flower. All ladies look great! No watering today, no training, just pics. Sour Diesel A looks fantastic. Her structure is a bit wonky. More triangular than square or rounded. I'll have to fix that tomorrow. Sour Diesel B is the biggest of the 4. She has a fantastic structure and wonderful side branching. She'll need a bit more training tomorrow. Just to pull down a couple branches that are getting taller than the rest. Sour Diesel C also looks great. Her structure is that of B, but smaller. Very healthy plant. She will need more training, but I'm trying to see if she will catch up with less training. Sour Diesel D looks absolutely perfect. No training and no defoliation and she's still pretty open and has wonderful air flow. She's also starting to get taller than the rest, but that is to be expected. The light is perfect. I have the power level at 70% and the height at 24" (my favored height) the DLI is at 38 mol/m²/d. Next week we will bring it up to 40 mol/m²/d and the week after will be 45 mol/m²/d. The environment is starting to look better. This morning the temp was only at 70°, and it took nearly 2 hours to get the temp back up to 77°. The humidity is really weird. It's dry in my room. Like 44% dry. The tent is still stuck at 57% humidity. I don't understand. I have 2 dehumidifiers, low humidity and my exhaust fan on a lower setting to keep the dry air in there and it's still high. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.0° RH: 54.3% VPD: 1.24 kPa

after not being happy on how it was on week 13, i decided to push it this far. I'm more satisfied than i was, but I remain disappointed in apera instruments for screwing me over on IP67 warranty promise. They said after this replacement they wont do it again. total bs.

hello yesterday the top of my plants,they look happy .. I can water them today.I can tell the name of the song to those who are curious :)

i'm feeling pretty happy with the result so far, i need to learn so much about growing weed 😆

So as i said , this is a great strain that i love so much ! He grew so good , so comfortable , all the way from tge start to the end , 0 problems ! I had some work on the scrog net all the way on the first month of flowering ,but it was worth it ! For sure !

Hey everyone 😀. These weeks they have continued to develop very well 👍. They have made a huge leap forward since they were repotted 😃. They will be topped again this week, and will then move to the flower tent next week 😍. I am very curious to see how it will develop until next week. I wish you a lot of fun with the new update, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 🌱🍀 You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/red-mandarine-f1-fast-version/ Type: Red Mandarine F1 Fast Version ☝️🏼 Genetics: Red Poison Auto®️ (SWS39) X Tangie (California Orange x Hybrid Skunk) 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

In realtà ho coltivato 2 semi di questa pianta una l'ho raccolta e seccata mentre un altra è ancora in flush e verrà raccolta tra 5-6 giorni. I fenotipi sono quasi identici e predilige un odore di gas e og! L'effetto è devastante molto narcotica e a breve pubblichero qualche foto di qualche estrazione a freddo! Spero che piacciano a qualcuno i miei lavori e che qualcuno di voi si possa ispirare a tutto questo. Ringrazio ogni singola persona che è passata di qui a lasciare il suo like o commento e ricordo a tutti voi che potete trovarmi anche su Instagram 😘

Nice sweet smell... could say what strain it is because its from sweetseeds sweet auto mix 10 pk of the best.. Definitely going to enjoy this one ... Grow went well and fast 62 days flat...

Day 79 : last week of flush for the GSC#2 and Z.OG#2 Day80 : GSC#2 Harvest day

11. Woche Ich gieße sie mittlerweile mit Eiskaltem Wasser und das hat dazu geführt, dass Green Gelato Auto von RQS Purplet 😍 Schaut euch gerne die Bilder an, sie sieht wirklich traumhaft aus. 7-10 Tage noch, dann hat sie den Punkt erreicht, der mir gefällt 😄😊 Ich habe die gestern alle gespült. Insgesamt habe ich 4x Wasser durch jeden Topf laufen lassen.

5/27/19 -Looks like Cheese #1 is starting to turn purple. Sugar leaves starting to turn purple -RG #5 is really completely turning purple--most mistils have turned orange--waiting on lower small nugs to turn orange to harvest -RG #4 leaves are starting to claw for some reason. I went 1 day to many on the watering and i think i stressed the plants w the underwater -RG #4 watered with 1 large pH balanced water no nutrients -Week 10 grow solution made with 6mL Micro and 12mL Bloom--pH balanced to 6.42 -Thinking of harvesting RG#5 sometime this week. Not sure if i should wait for bottom most nugs to turn orange. 5/28/19 -Smaller RG#2 branches finished drying & transferred to mason jar to cure -some cal/mag deficiency starting to froliferate with Cheese #1-i anticipated this and made week 10 nutrient solution -harvesting most of RG#5 tomorrow-im liking the trichomes -going to water plants probably tomorrow, Cheese #1 with nutrients -RG#1 watered with 1 large cup pH 6.48 water no nutrients ' 5/29/19 -Cheese #1 watered with 1 large cup nutrient solution at pH 6.47 -RG#1,3,5 watered with 1 large cup water pH 6.47 no nutrients -going to water RG #4 tomorrow -Cheese #1 sugar leaves & bud leaves turning purple--hoping the nutrient supplement will strengthen the buds--looks like were entering mid-flower 5/30/19 -RG #4 watered with 1 large cup water no nutrients pH 6.47 -turned off bloom lights & things look different under white COB light. RG#1,4 are a litte lime green and definitely could use some nutrients. -not sure when im going to harvest RG #5 havent decided yet. 5/31/19 -RG #5 mostly harvested -All other plants are looking really good except for some fan leaves on RG #4, some weird coloration is goin on there but i believe that to be a nutrient deficiency i didnt catch early on. -RG #5 harvest went super well. All the buds are really thick and dense, and packed with resin, to the point where i needed to grab some nitrile gloves and some Fast-Orange to get the resin off my hands. Buds have this really beautiful purple tinge littered with crystals and orange pistils. Super excited to start the cure -Dry began today, expect to begin curing 6/4. 6/1/19 -RG #5 hang drying in a dark room with constant light airflow. Should be ready to cure 6/3-6/5 -hoping it wont take long for RG 5 small branches to ripen up -Cheese #1 rapidly changing color to purple--some lower fan leaves yellowing -Cheese #1 watered with 1 large cup Week 11 nutrient solution @ pH 6.42 -RG #3 watered w/ 1 large cup pH 6.47 water no nutrients

24/03 watered AGAIN after 2 days with 1.5L 5.9 PH 1.5 EC, 5ml/L of Terra Bloom. So far im really happy with plagron. Just one bottle for grow and one for bloom and the plants look healthy and show no signs of deficencies. really happy with the product. Moreso than biobizz, where i used Grow, bloom, calmag, activera and topmax and still fought deficencies here and there. I also am conflicted about the trellis net. I like what it does but i think my tent is too full with plants or too small to really enjoy it growing-wise. I cant move the plants and its hard to reach them during watering. So i removed it again. its an on/off relationship with us :D I also did some more defoliation, PROMISE ITS THE LAST TIME. i took out the plants of the tent for it to better reach the insides of them and made some nice videos of their progress so far. ALSO: Tent smells really good and overwhelming when i open it! sadly, it escapes pretty fast so ill put "normal" smell on here. but its decent! Watered again on 27/03, 1.5l 5ml/L Terra Bloom 1ml/L Green Sensation, 5.8 PH 1.7 EC 29/03, 1.5l 5ml/L Terra Bloom 1ml/L Green Sensation, 5.7 PH 1.7 EC

i started with LST. unfortunately the plant grew too fast in height, which doesn't make it any easier now. next week i'll try it with twine. maybe i should it just let it grow as it likes.
