These ladyโ€™s still in veg. I see the hairs forming slowly on both, itโ€™s almost week 7 so Iโ€™ll call it week 7 flower. Doesnโ€™t seem to have any problems she just keeps growing.

She smells great! I wish she didn't get powdery mildew at the end but I couldn't risk it spreading to my other plants. Fortunately I caught it in time and the buds look good. The biggest one weighs 36 grams.

I started germination of 2 Jack F1 beans on 29/12/2020. I pre moistened my rockwool cubes with ph balanced water to 6.4. Made sure the plugs were just damp and not soaked. Using a small wooden dowel I increased the size of the plugs pre made holes. Than I sowed my beans into the holes. Ripped off a small piece of rockwool and mulched it up. Lightly filled the holes in with the mulched rockwool. Than stuck the plugs into a misted humidity dome, to complete germination. Shouldn't take anymore than 4-5 days to see some sprouts. Once I see some cotlydon leaves bursting to the surface. I will get the plugs planted into some 1 gallon pots. Plus get these ladies situated into their new home. Cant wait! Just some background information on my last run with the Jack f1. It was relatively strong during veg. But was middle of the pack in size after the 6 weeks of vegetative growth. After the flower stretch she became the largest quick! With a enormous stretch rate of 300%... Yes she tripled in size. Forcing me too super crop her which she didnt like at all. Setting her back and definitely hurting her all around yeild. Despite the staggering, unexpected stretch amount. Leading to the stress inducing supercropping. She still pulled off immaculate bud structre, density, and trichome production. She just took much longer than she should have... and didnt pack on the whopper size buds I'd expect out of these genetics. Definitely learned alot out of my first go. So I'm amped for the second run with this variety. This time around I'm going to anticipate the stretch and cut veg time shorter. To roughly 4 weeks or 1 ft in height. Also utilize a bit of very light lst to their side branching to open them up a little bit. Without stressing them out... well hopefully.

Over the past week my plants have been growing a lot quicker. I'd say about an inch every night or so. They still have 0 signs of any pests. The only bug I've seen are a rainbow dragonfly, and above is a picture of a ladybird black/orange ladybug. Ladybugs in general are good, this one specifically is actually supposed to mean good fortune. Hopefully this means my plants. This past week I have been giving my plants longer to run their feed - giving them 48 or 72 hours to run through the watering mix - and almost fully dry it out before I feed them again. I also have added the nutrient 'terpinator' 0-0-4 ... This is giving aid to my plants potassium for it's later veg and leading into flowering stages. I will slowly increase the ml of this to around 30 for my three gallon watering pot I use. Slowly increasing the potassium as it begins to enter flowering should make sure the trichome production and buds are juicy and dank! That all for now, excited to come into the later stages!! WOO HOO!

Week 8, nov 3. the middle plant was turning light green in the past couple of weeks so I flushed it with 60 liters of ph 5.9 water to see if it was locking out. Most of the plants have had calmag deficiencies even though I have been adding calmag every watering. perhaps I need some dolomite lime mixed in with the next promix to get a better ph and allow for nutrient uptake better (?)

Week 7! Day 51: No water She's in full bloom and thickening up! I reckon it's safe to say that she's surpassing the Sherbet Queen's final in bud size already, with a 10 day headstart. I'm expecting to have to water her tomorrow and Saturday. Now that her nutrient lockout has been resolved, it's likely she'll pick up pace. With nothing out of the ordinary expected to happen this week, I'll shift my focus towards photography. Day 52: Still moist, no water Perhaps the mulch is slowing down evaporation because the soil is still moist. Overall, I can see she's almost ready for a new watering, but she'll have to wait until tomorrow. For the past few, weeks I've done some research regarding the presumed phosphorus toxicity. While I was under the impression that phosphorus is the main nutrient for fat buds, today I learned that actually pottasium is the desired one. I'll keep using the PK13-14, but also found an organic alternative that might be more forgiving to dose and time. Moreover, it's the leftover water from boiling potatoes, or banana peels - kitchen scrap! I'll return to this idea in the future. Day 53: 2L (PH 6.4) Canopy PPFD ranges from 790 on the high shoots, to 600-400 range in the middle canopy, and around 300 on the lowest budsites of the canopy. Day 54: 2L (PH 6.1) When I watered her yesterday, I noticed the runoff was wicked up quite quickly. Since she's in full bloom - her buds seem noticeably thicker than yesterday - and the top of the soil was already feeling less moist compared to other watering days, I decided to give her a bonus round of water. The runoff wasn't as much and I expect that, too, to be wicked back up. Day 56: Moist, no water Her buds have gained substantial size. I set out a trap against fungus gnats and within ten minutes two of them were caught. Irregardless, there's nothing much going on besides that and some defoliation.

NOTES: I stopped using the root stimulator as I fill the tanks, next full nutrient solution change to mid-bloom phase is at around 3rd to 4th week flowering. I'll I stop using the Grow nutrient and will increase Bloom the same amount. A lot of training on upper parts with the net and some light defoliating on lower parts of the plants. Day57 (12.12.) Day58 (13.12.) Defoliated and pruned my plants a bit more. Removed some big fan leaves covering large areas of becoming bud sites but mostly focused on lower leaves growing inwards, blocking growth, airflow etc.. Added a video afterwards. Day59 (14.12.) Day60 (15.12.) I continued doing the same as before, light defoliation mostly under the canopy. Day61 (16.12.) Day62 (17.12.) Everything looks good and my teenagers are finally beginning to flower, also no signs of any males or hermaphodites so that's good. Filling the net and keeping the tops and bud sites at the same level is a lot of work since they've stretched a lot. They've also needed some pruning and defoliating but I've tried to not remove too much before they've finished growing bigger. After that, propably on 4th week of flowering I can decide better on what to remove and what to keep for the rest of the grow. Day63 (18.12.) I started the last heavier defoliation process which includes removing around 50% of the upper leaves blocking airflow and light to the developing bud sites. I'll continue the process propably a couple days so I don't stress them too much. It's pretty time-consuming to dive in to each plant and remove anything that's unneccessary for the rest of the grow, keeping that in mind I don't even have the time to do everything at once. This includes the bottom nodes and branches that aren't going to reach even close to the net, the leaves that are blocking the light on top, and the leaves at the bottom of the canopy that aren't getting basically any light. Thanks for the tips! ๐Ÿ’ช

The clone turned out great. Awesome smell, heavy frosty buds. Smells just like the mother plant she originated from. I did capture the light green pigment mutation, and she grew great overall.

Well they are healthy thank god. Both leafs are aiming up tips too and beautiful green. Just pull a few leafs off here and there.. Nothing to upset them just for light purposes. Tossed the scrog on to help pull stuff apart get some light to those lowers for the heck of it. Both sucking down water.. I give them 1.5L each everyday. Nothing but this Mantis still. Going to toss in that Bembe every two weeks though, when I see some flowers. Not for Anything other then what it does for the flower. Cause the Mantis alone has been very stable and successful for growth. I have little white hairs developing in the flowering areas. ..Iโ€™ll get pics when I open tent tomorrow. Very happy with everything..

This past week has been a blast! After getting these ladies nutrition straightened out, they are thriving!๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š I gave defoliated wayyy more than what I see other growers traditionally doing. After the "3rd and final haircut" I defoliated two more times ๐Ÿ˜… Thank you the GD community for the support and resources along the way ๐Ÿ™ My only concern now is the tent actually becoming too crowded.๐Ÿ˜†. Other then that I am thinking it should be smooth sailing these next 6 weeks or so. ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ Happy Growing! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’š

Rainbow melon, a marvelous genetic Iโ€™ve never seen such a rigorous plant. Iโ€™ve never to plant before so weโ€™ll see how it goes like that but if thereโ€™s a chance, I can have fat cola all the way around Iโ€™m going to do it has some trouble with her on my first one so a little scared, but weโ€™ll see how she handles it. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ™

All is going well. But noticed the top leaf tips turning brown, raised the lights and will keep an eye on it. Apart from that it has been a standard week.

Alrighty, Guys I'm coming to some new realizations lol. Plants are doing way better with new root growth coming from the net pot sides horizontally. I was confused because it seems that a bit of the roots had died or rotted for no real reason. I have suspected the amino treatment and root accelerator was gunking them up. Needless to say, I am almost out and decided to exclude those additives and see what happens. I also ran out of Multi zen and decided to up the base nutrients to compensate. It would be great to get opinions on it all, The prices are so steep and honestly, I practically had the whole line up and it didn't really impress at all. Strangely I have some dc buckets in the center and they are doing really well on just micro, bloom, and cal-mag so save me from making some baizes haha. I noticed that the growth is a bit spread out but they are all from seed so I guess that expected. the bushiest of plants has some discoloration on the leaves but it seems to be killing it so I'm not too worried. At this point, I'd love to get any harsh criticism or to narrow down where I am making these mistakes. I came in expecting to flip from veg in 4 weeks but that doesn't seem possible from seed. I know a lot can be a strain but I still feel like even though I have all these controls I'm missing something. Oh everyone got topped for the first time and aside from some interesting patterns its all gravy baby. Let me know if I need to do something about that missing 400 ml of multizen haha.

Harvest time I decide two hang the entire plant for a slow drying !! I finally removed the plant to much humidity it was around 80%๐Ÿ˜ฅ itโ€™s raining hard those days anyway I checked every buds and no mold so I switched to my old method . ๐Ÿ“ฆ humidity now itโ€™s 55% ๐Ÿ‘Œ 5 days of drying I try to keep humidity around 60 and 17 degrees to keep all terpenes n flavour, terpene donโ€™t like low humidity ,heat ,and of course lightning ,see yโ€™a next update ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช I had 34g of nice frosty trim ,for the first time Iโ€™ve made some nice bubble hash amazing I love it!!! I watch all of heโ€™s videos he was the marster of hash RIP French cannoli ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™
