Start of week 4, roots coming out of pot so have transplanted on day 22 into final pot. Plant is pushing out node five at the moment. Update week 4 day 2: A couple of days ago I dropped the PH to 5.8 from 6.3 and have added in Acti-Vera, a different Seaweed Extract fortified with Iron, and starting today Rhino Skin silica. Just look at the difference in the colouration of this plant in under 48 hours... wow. Update week 4 day 2: I think I've managed to overwater. Not going to water today. Update week 4 day 4. She is showing the same pattern as KKA 2 days ahead. After repot she is stretching out her main fan leaves, stem is thickening, and new growth appears everywhere. Day 25.5 flushed with 30l of PH lowered water then fertigated with 5l. Day 26: Height: 9cm Width: 18cm Nodes: 6 I have named her Bertha Day 27: H9.5 W19.5 N7 Day 28: Fertigated 2.5l @ 15:00 . Day 28: Photo and Measure 00:40 H13cm W21cm N7 Weekly growth data: From 6cm Height to 13cm +117% From 9cm Width to 21cm +133% From 4 primary nodes to 7 +75% Summary: Really good week for Bertha, she hasn't grown at quite the same rate as Karen, but she's not a million miles behind, I think she will have a big week 5. Day 28.5: I have changed my mind about training and done a little gentle LST. Why? Well I realised I would have trouble with light levels and the younger plants... so I've decided to try and keep the older two from stretching too tall. I realise this will mess up height measurements but it'll even out.

Hi guys. The girls have settled into producing bigger buds this week and have no signs of issues. I think two of them may have at least 2 or 3 weeks left and the big plant may have 2. This is the time I struggle with the most using autos. The breeder states a harvest time but this is under ideal environmental conditions and I am not clear if I have provided the perfect environment. I am going to let them go until hairs turn 80-90% orange. Overall they are looking frosty and feel very dense. This is the part were being patient is very important and imo the most difficult part of any grow. I just want to cut one bud off and smoke it 🤪 but I won’t. I have uploaded a picture of the new seeds for my next grow. Moving to photoperiods next grow woohoo. If anyone had any suggestions please comment and let me know 🧐 Cheers guys Microgrowery

Que hay familia, nuestras única variedad con predominancia sativa, bastante vigorosa, flores bastante compactas vemos como van formándose y engordando, desprenden un aroma bastante dulce me recuerda al regaliz rojo. Humedad y temperatura controladas dentro de los parámetros.

Esta por empezar el engorde final. Ya las flores estan casi formadas. La altura está al límite total. Uno o dos centímetros más y estaría en problemas de verdad. El engorde de muchas flores ya es notorio, pero creo que el uso de un bioestimulante que no es de primera línea, ha reducido el potencial de las plantas. De todos modos hasta no tener el resultado final no puedo afirmar nada. La solución de esta semana fue cargada con más pk booster para ver cómo funciona la linea de greenhouse en esta etapa. Suelo usar pk 13/15 de canna. Pero esta vez puse el que tenía. Seguiré actualizando. Día 31. Se nota mucho el engorde. Las hojas muestran pequeños signos de sobre fertilización, pero nada grave que no haya visto antes. Me suele pasar en esta semana en todos los cultivos en hidroponia. Pero las veces que ko me pasó, no tuve el engorde deseado. Por eso manejo mediciones de PPM superiores 1000. Se empieza a ver cuáles van a ser los cogollos más grandes, pero sigo con incertidumbre sobre cuanto más van a engordar. Estoy bastante conforme al momento. Hoy tuve contacto con plantas macho, pero me cambié toda la ropa antes de acercarme al indoor y le lavé. Además no sé si sumará, pero me rocío en alcohol cada vez que entro a casa, así que espero no tener problemas. Ya voy a ir preparando los esquejes para la próxima siembra. Quizá no logre sacar 10 de las madres que tengo. Pero quizá ponga menos y los haga crecer más tiempo y con bastante LST. Pero será en otro protecto. Por ahora espero que siga el engorde. Día 33. Ya el engorde es un hecho. Por el momento estoy bastante satisfecho. La solución se concentró demasiado así que tuve que agregar agua. Pero más allá de algunos signos de sobre fertilización mínimos y pasajeros en las hojas, la plantas se muestran saludables y firmes. Todavía sigo buscando la posibilidad de agregar overdrive la semana que viene. Todo está por verse. Ya puedo asegurar que va a haber una séptima semana de floración, sino debería empezar el lavado en 2 días, cosa que a la vista, sería muy apresurado. Así que seguiré esperando a ver las flores con los pistilos más secos. Entre tanto los tricomas ya están formados, pero recién van a empezar la maduración en unos días. No saco foto porque el celular no hace buen foco con la lupa, pero ya intentaré mas adelante. Día 35. Cierra la semana con una buena idea de lo que van a ser los cogollos. Según el calendario de la planta, debería empezar el lavado esta semana, ya que sería la última. Pero por la madurez de los tricomas, todavía le faltan entre 10 días y 2 semanas más. Así que se viene otra semana de sobrecarga de PK y voy a aumentar la dosis para aprovechar a medir el nivel de tolerancia de la planta a altos niveles producto. Al ser hidroponia y trabajar con el ambiente bastante controlado, confío en que voy a poder aplicar correctivos a tiempo, si empiezo a notar defasajes bruscos.

12/4 Monday she is doing really well. I just gave her water and that’s all I’m gonna give her from here on out. There’s plenty of nutrients I almost overdid it but I caught the mistake just a little leaf burn tip. Her buds are as dense as any photoperiod plant I’ve ever seen. This has been my best grow ever for some reason she really liked me. She really did good even though I had bugs I think the big difference was silica. I read the article on this website about it and I started using it and it makes a huge difference I’m using 2.5 mL mixing it in with the rest of the nutrients and I don’t have any problems at all. 12/5 she looks more than ready her buds are so thick and dense. I just can’t believe it. I see these websites on Twitter where these girls trim up their weed and they sell it and it looks perfect. It’s gonna look almost as good as those I’ve seen really happy with this. This is my most successful grow so I gave her a nice haircut today. 12/6 I have a Bumble / flying fucking red nosed reindeer infestation it’s HORRIBLE you would think a fancy breeder like Seedsmen would put an a warning label on these seeds!! 12/8 I hunted the bumble into extinction and I ate the reindeer. It’s been a beautiful morning what a breakfast. I don’t know if I accidentally did this right, but taking the leaves off of it for the last week and just using water has been great. She’s starting to put out some more resin now I did take two little branches off and the one that I took earlier that dried is really rockhard solid. I’ve never had that before it’s just the best. 12/10 Sunday I’m just letting her dry out there’s three other plants in the tent with her so now they all have the bugs that she had. I had to spray again today with the garden spray I bought on Amazon. She looks pretty good I probably chop her down on Monday, I’ve smoked some it hasn’t really dried so I can’t get to the smell yet. Pretty exciting feels great though.

Esta semana fue bastante positiva en el desarrollo de la planta,los riegos con un ph más bajo y la ec en valores óptimos, lograron mejorar un poco el color de las hojas.Tambien a los nutrientes que veníamos regando se le sumo el big bud, veremos que es lo que pasa en el transcurso de la siguiente semana. Creo que en términos generales la planta va creciendo saludable. 🤞🤞😅

Week 10 for Moby dick by fastbuds, She's finally starting to bulk up a little her flowers, but she's extremely leafy likely going to defoliate her again a bit because little worried about her main cola getting bud rot but no signs of that for now. But the weather definitely isn't helping that worry😂 I've also stopped praying her down in the mornings because of the high humidity i don't want to run into any issues. She's going to be a long living auto for sure... 14 weeks+ i reckon but maybe that will translate well to the final scale weight 😁 She was fed once this week with some FPJ, Regulator, Enzym+ & Topbooster by @aptus_portugal just to give it an extra boost!

WEEK 10/7F // D64/43F - D70/49F Die Guava hat an Tag64/43F das letzte Mal Wasser bekommen und ist an sich schon an Tag66/45F fertig gewesen. Allerdings gab es keine Möglichkeit die Guava anständig zum trocknen aufzuhängen. Daher wurde die Guava an Tag69/48F zum trocknen in einem Karton mit Lüfter aufgehangen. Vorher gab es ein wet-trim. Bei den Outdoor-Ladys bevorzuge ich den wet-trim weil man so schonmal schauen kann ob irgendwo noch ein kleines Insekt klebt und auch sieht wenn ein Bud schimmelt. Bei der Guava musste nur ein halber Headbud vom Seitentrieb entfernt werden weil der geschimmelt ist. Sonst war alles in einem super Zustand. Unter dem Gedanken das die Guava den Großteil draußen stand, ist die Guava eine super stabile Genetik. Temperatur Tag: 22-26°C Nacht: 13-19°C Höhe 84cm

Magnificent plant! Sooo, sooo resinous, covered in trichomes and smells super-citrusy - kind of like lemon scented Geranium 🍋 Small but mighty hard buds. This is one of the most trichome producing flowers I have ever seen. I'm in love 😍 Breeder did great job here!

Grow Diary Update: Week 5 - Pre-Flowering and LST Evaluation Entering Pre-Flowering Stage At the end of last week, the first pistils appeared, marking the beginning of the pre-flowering stage for my plants 🙌 There's much to manage now. To support optimal stretching, I've adjusted the nutrients following 2/3 of the Terra Aquatica feeding schedule: CalMag: 2 ml/l (Starting EC before adding nutrients: 0.45 mS/cm) Grow: 1.33 ml/l Bloom: 1.0 ml/l Micro: 1.33 ml/l The nutrient solution now has an EC of 1.3 mS/cm (638 ppm PPM-500/TDS) with a pH of 6.1. These adjustments aim to promote vigorous growth and prepare the plants for flowering. Weather and Growth With significant weather improvements, my plants are thriving at full speed. Every centimeter gained now counts towards maximizing the final yield, turning around from the challenging weeks prior. Pest Management I'm fortunate not to have encountered pests like spider mites, aphids, or thrips. However, the persistent snail issue remains. Nightly patrols with a flashlight have been effective, and placing old lettuce leaves away from the plants has helped trap and remove snails, ensuring the plants remain undisturbed. LST Experiment Results The two plants I trained with LST have responded admirably, showing healthy adaptation to the bending and vigorous growth. Yet, I'm at a crossroads regarding the upcoming stretch phase: should I continue to tie down branches to maintain an even canopy or allow natural upward growth to potentially boost vertical yield? Your Feedback Matters I value your insights on this critical decision. Should I proceed with low-stress training to control canopy height, or should I let the plants stretch upwards for increased productivity? Your experiences and advice are invaluable to me as I navigate this stage of my grow. Share your thoughts below! Stay tuned as I continue to document the pre-flowering stage and learn from the ongoing LST experiment in my grow diary!

Swiched the light schedule to 12/12. I was planning to put a net in this week but I'll have to swich up the positioning to make it more efficient, as they're growing like crazy and I expect they'll at least double in size,

Did defoliation as usual and a little lollipoping. Did 2 complete refills of the reservoir, ph stayed stable for 1 day after the exchange but then super unstable again. Dropped the EC with the second refill to 1000 to see if it stays stable. Ori is going good, already looking frosty, NL#2 is comming aswell, NL#1 not so much.

3/3 Gelat.OG are doing great. One is a bit taller than the other (which is in the top). Makes sense since the lights are focused in the middle... I will grow only 3 plants next time instead of 4. They’re also drinking about 2.5 gal of water every 5-6 days. They look very healthy and I’ve somewhat defoliated and lollipopped slightly. I do little by little as I go to prevent shock.
