Had a massive rainstorm, hadn’t supported the plants as I had planned due to spraying for moth larvae. The storm damaged several plants. I strapped most of them back together with Zip ties and stakes. They recovered nicely. Some branches were not recoverable so they were trimmed and dried. No more nutrients, just water to finish off.

Grow Diaries Report: Flower Week 1 – Stretch Madness & Heavy Grooming 🌿🚀 Week 9 – Flower Week 1 Update The flowering phase has officially kicked off, and wow, this plant is on a mission to touch the sky! The stretch this week has been intense, with the plant shooting up significantly. To manage her vigor and focus her energy on bud production, I’ve had to step in with defoliation and additional lollipopping. This Week’s Highlights Massive Stretch: The plant stretched dramatically this week, filling up the vertical space in the tent. Defoliation: I removed a significant amount of fan leaves to improve light penetration to the lower branches. Lollipopping Redux: Further cleaned up the lower parts of the plant, focusing her resources on the top colas. What I Did Lollipopping: Removed more of the lower branches and leaves that were unlikely to contribute to bud production. Defoliation: Took off some large fan leaves to improve airflow and light exposure throughout the canopy. Nutrients: Continued with the bloom feeding schedule, ensuring a balance of phosphorus and potassium for flower development. Environment Management: Adjusted the light height to prevent light burn and tweaked the fan placement to improve airflow in the now more open canopy. Observations The plant’s stretch has been both impressive and challenging, but the defoliation and lollipopping seem to be working. The top canopy looks well-lit and primed for flower development. No signs of stress from the grooming, which is always a relief during such an aggressive stretch. Challenges The rapid vertical growth is pushing the limits of the grow tent. I’ll need to monitor her closely to prevent overcrowding or light burn. Next Steps Keep monitoring the stretch over the next week—potential supercropping if necessary to control height. Fine-tune the nutrient schedule to ensure the plant has everything it needs as bud sites develop. Maintain low humidity to reduce the risk of mold or mildew during early flowering. Conclusion The first week of flowering has been an explosive start! The stretch is real, but with proper management, she’s looking set to develop some fantastic buds in the weeks ahead. 🌟 Any tips for managing a stretch-happy plant in a tight grow tent? Drop your advice below! 😊

Ok start of week 4 of veg. I have topped the front 2 and fim the back 2, not 100% sure if I fim the back too right or got to close and ended up topping lol will have too see. They have responded well to it though. I done it on sat and today (Monday) they already starting to bush more. Will do a defoliate this weekend to get rid of some of the big ass fan leafs but so far all seems to be going great. Happy growing to you all 😁🍻

Day 1 - Stuft 1/2 gallon fabric nursery bags w/FFOF soil then lightly dusted the holes with some GW myco. Got 'em covered (ever so gently) with soil then covered them with humidity domes and put them in the nursery with some other babies. Day 2,3,4 - Just made sure they were kept moist but there's not much happening above ground. (*EDIT*) Day 5 - 2 popped AND 2 DIED (sad trombone...)so I transplanted them into 3-gallon pots and gave 'em some plain old RO. Day 6 - The soil looked a little dry on both of them. Watered the soil until it looked moist the whole way through. Day 7 - To be continued...

The 4-week-old plant in the rapid growth phase is a fascinating organism to behold. It's incredible to witness the transformation of a tiny seed into a thriving plant with a sturdy stem, extensive root system, and vibrant green leaves. As the plant enters the rapid growth phase, it seems to come to life, eagerly soaking up sunlight and nutrients to fuel its growth, stretching its leaves towards the sun in the morning. The excitement of watching your plants reach this stage is hard to describe. It's a reminder of the beauty and wonder of nature and the incredible potential of life.

Here we grow! These are clones of Mandarin Cookies, rooted in peat plugs, under low light T5 Sunblaster 24w, inside a dome, keeping humidity levels high.

Those two permanent marker plants are still kinda short, but they're finally starting to take off. It's cool to see them getting bushy. They're looking good so far. Well, it's Christmas again. This year feels a little different, though. Maybe it's the snow blanketing everything, or the way the tree lights up the whole living room. Either way, it's cozy and warm, even when it's freezing outside. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Santa brings. I hope I get that new video game I've been wanting. But most of all, I can't wait to spend time with my family. We always have so much fun This past week was a good one for the plants. They started the first week of their stretch, and they've already grown a decent amount. I can really see them filling out. It's cool to watch them grow so fast. I can't wait to see how big they get by the end I always get a little worried at this stage, like they're not gonna get as big as I want them to. But then I remember how they always end up surprising me. By the end, they're always perfect.

Eccoci qui... Siamo quasi alla fine del cultivo, odore, resina e colore ci sono. Attendiamo solo la maturazione delle cime che richiederà 1/2 settimane.... NON VEDO L'ORAAAA... Seguiranno aggiornamenti, grazie a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️

Week 7

Bud sites are producing black/purple spot in leaves. Bud growth is producing as the days go by. Really excited with this being my first grow Nitrogen boost really helped with the deficiencies. Plants are starting to look really heathy... Prunes lower colas that weren't stretching past the canopy and receiving energy so more energy can be used towards the top buds

From 100 degrees days to 75 and light showers and she’s still taking it like a champ ..flowering now so will keep a eye on it for now stay tuned..

Everything is looking good Still not smelling too much

Mar 31st Week 16 Changed nutrients to straight Dense Bud Compactor 1 gram/ litres @ 900-1000 ppm for 2 days CR # 1 showing signs of root wrought I removed the slimy parts of the roots and will watch closely On April 2nd I will add the rest of the nutrients to the existing solution April 2nd Fresh nutrients today, all nutrients added 8 litres of fresh water + 6 litres of the existing Dense Bud solution @ 1100 ppm CR # 1 is dying due to root wrought I removed most of the roots today. I changed all the water today with this one. I’m hoping to get it to harvest, but things don’t look good. I will probably flush this soon to harvest what I have. CR # 2 is doing fine as far as roots. Buds are smaller on this one but may fill out more with the Dense Bud Compactor. April 6th Switched CR # 1 to flush solution Root wrought was sever and unfortunately 90% of the root mass had to be removed Time to save what I have

I'd like to title this Diary entry Screw You Advanced Nutrients. 7th week done.. 3 weeksish left on the Lsd-25 and 4 weeksish on the purple Lemonade.. Gonna be some chunky mothers. Purple coming up everywhere, pretty colours. Oh yes we are very pleased so end of 7th week for these ladies and stretching has stopped thank goodness and we are now into bud building/mass building. The two lsd-25 plants definitely went into full flower "mode" sooner. The Colorful lady seems to have benn mass building all week. Probably gonna have different harvest windows on these ladies. Was hoping for same time but it's okay we are creative and will figure a way ahead. There is some CO2 being fed in the tent. With a smaller co2 bucket. We will be trying out a new one for us and it is a product called dense from green planet. We will using dense when the regular reservoir change is suppose to happen. Before we feed only Dense we will be prepping the ladies with an extra feeding of GP3 micro. Buffering the leaves and prepping the uptake for the feeding. So with dense there will be only a feed of Dense with UC roots and ph down. The formula of dense is 0-0-62 so this is a very concentrated Potash supplement. We will be using 1/2 recommended doses as per our system and it's requirements. This will run for 4-5 days and significantly increase the Amount of Potash in the Plant fear not.. The next 2-3 days will run with just phed water then onto P-k spiking with Bloom Booster alone. At this stage Massive Bloom formulation would be great as well but we wanna cut out our nitros while still have some micros.. So we will feed smaller amounts of GP3 Micro with Powdered bloom booster, rezin and liquid weight. Right up until we do a 3 day flush before harvest. Nutrients and Light is the idea so we will see turn outs and everything. If you are wondering what is the difference between the plants and the lady on the left looks so burnt. Left side only fed Flora Series w/ Advanced Nutrients supplements the plants on the right side is fed only Flora Series with Green planet supplements. The nutrient formulas provided in this diary are for right plants only. We can not express the amount of disgust we feel towards Advanced Nutrients as we spent good money on their product and feel genuinely ripped off. The words smelly disgusting mess describe what happened when we added big bud to left side. Bottle smells fine but the Formula is obviously way off as we did not have issues like this when using it the first dozen or so times. We will be using chemical nutrients and powders for life now and will not use Advanced Nutrients again or recommend it for anyone. The Organic Big Bud Formula is no good for hydroponic growing and they obviously rushed it to market to make money..... We really wanted to finish with Advanced Nutrients being the supplement on the left side but we can not. The product itself has basically made it impossible to continue confidently using any Advanced Nutrients labeled as both Organic and Safe for hydroponics. The proof is in the pudding and so glad and happy really now that we are using Green Planet and continue on this trend of cleaner greener growing and a more intelligent approach. On a further note just to go a bit further Bud Candy for example contains sugars that are basically present in Black Molasses. So what they've basically done is filtered and bleached Black Molasses and watered it down and are selling it to us at around 40 bucks a litre. Bunch of crooks Screw you Advanced Nutrients.

Hi guys So here is my 10 plant auto run from fastbuds 420 genetics. I will update weekly on this one. So I'm going to be using 3 gal fabric pots filled with biobizz lightmix soil. I will be putting into solo cups after the 18 hour soak then transferring them to there for ever pots. Im looking forward to this run and trying to get 20oz + dry and cured out of this 4x4 tent grow. Part 2 of germination in operation in solo cups with root juice. Hopefully 10 out of 10 pop.

Janita esta semana que viene esta cumpliendo su primer mes, mi primera planta 😍. Satisfecho con los resultados hasta el momento, esta semana incluso me atreví y realice el primer corte Apical... esperemos tenga una pronta recuperación... Aprovecho de comentar que estoy cultivando con LED APOLLO 4, al inicio comencé con los 3 interruptores encendidos, fueron pasando los días y estudiando, leí sobre que la LUZ AZUL, se utiliza mas para vegetación y tiene como beneficio que acorta los nodos. Por lo tanto apague todas y deje solo encendido el interruptor de VEG, así estuve 1 semana app y hasta que finalmente llegue a un video de 60 min del mismo creador de estos LED APOLLO. En este video el personalmente recomienda tener en FASE CRECIMIENTO: VEG+FULL SPECTRUM. Al momento de iniciar FLORAZION, deberíamos encender también el interruptor de BLOOM. Por lo tanto, los 3 interruptores encendidos al mismo tiempo hasta la cosecha.👽 Srta. Nesbit fue plantada una semana después, producto de que una de sus hermanas fue degollada por el cable del humificador, el cual le cayo encima la primera semana.😪 Mónica estaba creciendo lento, al momento de sacarla de la maceta sus raíces eran pequeñas y arrugadas, quizás tenia algún problema... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MONICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! Lo positivo es que Srta. Nesbit va creciendo como avión y es la que se vio beneficiada de lo que aprendí en las primeras semanas con sus sisters. Incluso me atreví a ponerla en un vaso de plástico para después hacer mi primer trasplante, espero no romper el pan o comérmelo 😆 es su tercera semana, por lo tanto el trasplante viene pronto 😯

This week was a rush of growth! A great last of the lst, did some more training today using bud clips! Loveing the growth, headed into flower soooon!!!

Ernte Tag ... ich liebe es zu grown, das entlauben mag ich garnicht. Aber was Muss das Muss, erst Sonnensegel ab, dann rein in Dryferm Bags. Zum Teil hab ich sie schon von den Stielen getrennt, andere ganz gelassen und ein Teil so wie immer auf das Netz gelegt. Ich bin gespannt ob man ein Unterschied bemerkt. Nächstes Update nach den Feintrimm in ca 10 Tagen. :)
