This is it. The chop. Cut down the remaining plants this week (3 total). The trichs were around 30-50% amber. It really just depended on the branch I checked. Some nugs were almost 100% caramelized while others were like 20% amber. That was the goal for the remaining plants. This has been a great season. The Season This season went really (s)well. Nothing extraordinary other than I opted to use BT for the first time. I applied b.t. twice after I noticed caterpillars were starting to increase on the daily. They still appeared, but the damage was minimized. The 2 things that I made a mistake on was probably (1)not having the right size container for the first up-pot. I should've just placed the plants in slightly larger containers immediately. (2)Tropic orange didn't like getting moved around the garden when in flowering. I can't make this up. I noticed that I had them in the North side of the garden--i moved them 10 feet south in the first week of flowering and they got a little sad looking. Just weird. The plant that I didn't move did not experience that effect. Now it's documented. 😂 The Grow I grew 5 plants to the end in fabric containers. All seeds were Tropic Orange from Equilibrium Genetics. All seeds germinated. I gave a 6th plant to a buddy who had to harvest early due to rodents starting to eat his flowers. Of the 5: 2 were placed in 30 gallon containers solo, 2 together in a 30 gallon container also LSTd, and 1 plant was grown in a 45 gallon container with pineapple, chilli, and thyme companion plants(this one had purple flowers also--1st time I see that they purp on cold nights). LST I experimented with LST a bit more. I was told by a fellow grower that what I missed was the pinch after the pin. That I should've topped the plants that were pinned down to get the yield up. At first I was like nah, but then it makes sense. Maybe I'll try it next time. I forgot to ask around when I should top also. More to learn about this technique on my end. Watering I finally got my trigger finger under control. No root rot this season. Summer still amazes me in the peak water consumed (about 3x the normal). The summer peak coincides with the flowering and a couple of weeks later the watering decreases to about 1/3 of the water. Amendments I only amended the soil about 5x this season. I think I added kelp meal like 3x and a combo of bud candy and overdrive 2x. The soil I used was also amended initially. Flowers The flowers were great. Gassy to fruity smell. Even got a hint of mango peel and orange peel. The last few plants smelled amazingly pungent. Letting them go longer also increases the potency in the aroma and the resin production. These nugs are more stickier than those from a few weeks ago. I think I got hash fingers from touching the stems and a few leaves too much earlier, this plant is resi-nous for sure. Harvest Plant 1 (short, bushy, purple and orangey leaf tips, sour diesel/Tropicana cookie lookin, had to hold the branches up, grew like 50" in a 30 gallon fabric pot with chilli companion plant)- OCT 7 chop all white trichromes with some amber here and there (~1 lb) Plant 2 (tall, but started the shortest, not bushy at all, very sativa dom hybrid looking, dark green leaves that looked maple leafy when young, very little foliage in general, but nugs were dense, turned purple, smell like a fruit smoothie of sorts, always stayed strong but required some support at the end, 62" in a 45 gallon pot with chilli,thyme, and pineapple companion plants) - Oct 7 chop all white trichromes very little amber (~1 lb)

The garden is really doing well. Flowers are getting bigger almost daily. I got to order another tent to dry in because they are all finish at different times but I’m ok with that. Still dealing with a little bit of a calmag issue I think. I got one plant I’m going to give a dose to when my lights come on later. I’m waiting on my dehumidifier to get here so I can run my vpd up to try and increase some resin production. I’m excited to grow these lemon cherry cookie seeds I got. I’m happy with my first indoor grow. The wedding glue #2 could have used some more defoliation but she wouldn’t quite stretching

In dieser Woche haben wir das letzte mal entlaubt und kleine Triebe entfernt. Ab jetzt lassen wir die Pflanzen in Ruhe und werden nur noch bedarfsgerecht düngen.Der Geruch wird auch etwas intensiver.Einige Blüten glitzern schon . Vorwiegend die Indica Sorten sind mit Kristall belegt. Heute habe ich mir einen Vaporisator bestellt. Mal sehen ob es was für mich ist. Bin ja wie gesagt Nichtraucher,möchte es aber wenigstens mal getestet haben. Könnt ihr euch noch an euer erstes Raucherlebnis erinnern? Habe als Automatik Caramel angebaut. Soll sehr köstlich und gut für Anfänger sein. Letzte Woche hatte ich eine Fortbildung zu medizinischen Cannabis und der Verordnungsfähigkeit von Hilfsmitteln zum Inhalieren.War sehr spannend und ich hoffe es setzt sich durch. Oft hilft es besser als die hochpotenten Medikamente welche auch einiges an Nebenwirkungen mit sich bringen. Bin als Krankenschwester in der Palliativmedizin unterwegs. Also Leute bleibt schön gesund und viel Spaß weiterhin beim Anbauen.

Fungus gnats coming with the soil might take the chance to come out now for breeding. i'm waiting with a 9 mm rifle. in the past i found 6 gnats in 2 of 8 x 50 l biobizz lightmix bags coming out of the soil. i could eliminate every single gnat successfully ;) rotating harvest: the little ones will be harvested completely when ready. at this point only the top branches of the big ones will be cut...and the new (basic-watered) pots of the new grow will move into the tent. 2-3 weeks later the secod half of the big ones will be cut and the second half of the new grow will move in... nutes: biobizz / soil: biobizz lightmix bloom,grow,topmax,activera,algamic + aminopower instead of bio heaven (too expensive) individual feeding schedule/once a week: veg: 200 - 600 ppm bloom: 600 - 900 ppm water: ro-water with: veg: 100-150 ppm calmag bloom: 150 ppm calmag

Plant starting to flower. Removed a few fan leaves that were blocking the centre if the plant. Started to increase the power of the light slowly while keeping 12" (30cm) away from the top of the plant. Increased the feed by adding: 2ml of Seaweed and 2ml of Miracle-Gro to 2 litres of water with a 6.1ph - 6.5ph range.

Another Day another Dollar, a week later and I am starting to like being attentive when it comes to my babies, reminds me of the lock down days… dark times, but cultivation kept the days ticking and the mind clear. This Lady over has truly made a leap from her miniature pot to a whole 20lt highly rich compost mix, posted a video showing my mixing skills… it is getting warmer as the days progress, I am nervously awaiting the first Thunder storms, my makeshift greenhouse will be put to the sword, would be a sad day if that sword prove mighty, this structure has saved my babies through cold fronts, negative temperatures, speaking of weather the picture of the thermometer and my catalogued weather don’t correspond due to, The thermometer is showing my greenhouse’s room temperature, and I am cataloguing atmospheric temperature and humidity, I will get better in logging other such as water ph, for now all I know is I use rain water, and when I water I use 250ml of water per 24hrs, each plant to keep soil moist, I will increase the volume as soon as the morning temperature are at double digits. I cannot be disappointed with how this grow is proceeding. When Summer Shines it burns.

Had some issues with the big fan leaves on the lower nodes. They weren’t doing so great, turning brown and brittle so I cut them off today. Hopefully that helps, probably should have done it sooner but I was a little worried I was going to kill it or something. It’s still growing though, lots of new growth and a few branches growing potential bud sites so I think it’s ok. The reason the leaves were dying? Could have been the low humidity. Could have been underwatering (she’s sucking up the water really quickly, needs to be transplanted). Maybe I have the light too close, realized today it’s only 8 inches away, I was just eyeballing it. If you know the proper distance for this Mars Hydro TS1000 LED please comment below. I will be transplanting this week on Thursday when my new Air-pots come. Goals for this week: Figure out exactly how much I should be feeding this thing, it’s possible it needs cal-Mag added to the food? If you know about nutrients please comment below. I am using the General Organics GoBox. Hopefully cutting those leaves will lead to some new growth. I checked out the gross of some of you that have commented. You all are doing awesome I know there is a lot I can learn from this community and appreciate any help you can give. I don’t really have a lot of time for research these days with my work schedule and children and there is a lot of information out there it’s hard to sort out the good stuff. Thanks for stopping by, have a great week!

First Week i was trying out HPS lights both at 125w but capable of 400w, which i later Switched to two grow the jungle Jackson nemesis 250w not 200w as it said couldnt find the right model to put in. They got Regular water because i was still waiting for most of the equipment. I germinated 10seeds 5 of each and every one germinated pretty fast bout 12to20h.

* ******* Week 10 - June 13 to 19, 2020 - Days 64 to 70 from germination * Adding in the pictures right now.......... She continued to ripen this week and really stated to push out the frost at the end of the week when humidity was dropped to 50% and lower at night. She still has lots of nutrients in her to eat up as her leaves are pretty green. Her colas are starting to form points now and swelling/ripening.😍 She is done being fed this week and will start to feed on her leaves and flush out the nutrients👍😃 On Wednesday she was given at 32L flush of plain water to help lower the pH further and since at the end of her life it’s okay to hit the medium hard. She took the flush well and fattened up more. Frost also noticeably increased over the days after.......or the tricombs turned more cloudy😋😋 She has fought off all pest and environment issues and is very stable. She has liked to dry out a fair bit before her next watering as she was outwardly the most happy when pot was kept light. They were switched to a 20 hour light cycle at mid to end of flower and she took that well and swelled further. Opened her up on the inside to the let the light in and she has rewarded with fat little nugs on the lower sites!! She liked the LST and would push harder the day after being tied down. Very nice little girl in the grow portion of her life!!! Smoking part is looking very promising for yield and potency.........that will have to wait😉 Little more detail......... June 13/20 - Day 64 - 1.5L plain water 275ppm, pH to 5.1 - lower pH to help the building numbers in the pot - she is not taking up much right now.....slowing down a bit? - She bulked up a fair bit overnight though.....seems to have liked yesterday's feed. June 14/20 - Day 65 - dry out day - KK swelled even more last night. She is a bushy little girl! - tips forming slowly on the tops and moving away from the button look......ripening👍 - suspect she will be the first one done? - raised the lights roughly 3" little less intensity right now and leaf temps a little high. June 15/20 - Day 66 - Flush day today.....need to know where we stand with pH. - 32L (8 gal) of plain water given, 3.4pH and 280ppm going in. - in the trays before flush was runoff with a pH of 7.4 and ppm of 1800. (Both are too high for this stage of growth......6.4 and 900 would be nicer) - runoff numbers after were 6.9pH and 380ppm - had to stop there as I am using over 30 gallons of water today to flush all the girls......I am out of water😡 - environment holding at 80 degrees and 61% humidity. June 16/20 - Day 67 - dry out day.......you think :) - green leaves and red hairs started forming more.....she is ripening now.....no more feed.....only low pH water. - squished a couple of buds and she is firming up. June 17/20 - Day 68 - 3.5L watering today.......decided to give Rezin and Liquid Weight @ 1.5ml/L = 285ppm with a pH of 4.0 - yeah.......no NPK but I did give some supplements to help with tricombs and flavour. - there was lots of runoff water.....didn't bother to check it.......it will be high. - need to work on lowering the temps and humidity a bit more now as well.....80 degrees is too high now......76 and 55% is the goal. June 18/20 - Day 69 - dry out day - for the most part the girls were left alone today.....raining outside so humidity is rising. - lowered the light again......raising my temps to 78 degrees though........need an air conditioner in the lung-room! June 19/20 - Day 70 - 2L watering with Rezin, Liquid Weight, and Sensyzime for enzymes to finish cleaning up the roots......more salt I know.....but not too bad...bigger win. - 385ppm and 4.5pH.........left the pH alone. Didn't want to add pH adjuster with the enzymes being added to her. - Her top leaves are lightening and she is feeding on herself....perfect. - the rest of her though appears to be slowing down......swelling on the inside hopefully👍 - frost levels the last 5 days have really increased!! - raised the light back up again.......don't want fluffy buds so will reduce the temp and accept a little less intensity. That is it for week 10! We are flushing her and trying to keep her cool now💪

Week 4 for the strawberry gorilla from fastbuds 420 All good so far, we continue to apply addictives from xpert nutrients and add some more bloom nutrients as some of the girls are demanding a little more bloom nutrients. All good so far and not much more weeks to go, lets see of the girls continue to swollen up a bit more

Hope to get some feedback about nutrition : After 1 plant developed a small brown tip, I started feeding. A total of 116.6 liters of water goes into my system. The feeding schedule says that you should give 4 ml of root juice per liter of water. So: 116.6 x 4 = 466 in total for week 1. So, 466/7 = 66.5 ml per day. Despite this, the differences in root growth per container seem very different. 1 bin was so far behind that I changed them. However, after 1 day a brown mass developed in the roots. The others are still nice and white. Is this already the bereft root rot? I've made some pictures and a video. The first plant in the video was first in the container of the third plant in the video. EC value = 0.6 PH = 6.6 Update 3-5 : After adding more air, problem solved. Need to keep an eye on plant #3. I've put sticks on top of the startblock. 1 stick is plant #1 etc. Plant 3 is behind the rest. Root development also differs from the rest. Instead of a long (about 50 cm) long carrot, they are a few short (10/15 cm). The plant is also significantly smaller than the rest. Can't do much now so, let's hope and see she can catch up.

This was the ladies last week! I’ve been watching the tricomes, #1 is mostly cloudy with a touch of amber, # 2 could go just a bit longer as there are mostly cloudy with a few amber and some clear… but I have a schedule to keep to make tent space available. Fed the ladies straight ph’d water for 4 feeds, being sooooo hot they have been needing water every other day, which turned out perfect! Super happy with the smells so far, typical Kush with a very pleasing earthy aroma 🤤 Into my 2x4 AC infinity controlled tent for hopefully a 10 day slow dry @ 60% RH. It’s been so dang hot, temps in my basement with AC are still hovering around 72 degrees!

Day 36- soil was dry so watered with 1 gal of r.o and 2.5 ml cal mag I tested the runoff at 6.2ph and ppm right at 800 going to give a very light dose of fox farm nutes next water Day 37 and 38- soil still moist just filling humidifier and keeping temps around 78f rh between 45-50% Day 39- soil was dry watered with 1 gallon r.o with 2.5 ml cal mag 3.0ml big bloom and 2.0 ml of grow big and tiger bloom the runoff tested at 6.1 ph and almost 1800 ppm not sure if I should flush the plant now. Ended up flushing a total of 2.5 gallons of r.o until the ppm reached just under 1100 now just hoping I didn’t burn her Day 40 and 41- soil still moist so just filling humidifier good news is she didn’t nute burn but my overreaction flush did cause some very minor nute deficiencies on some lower leaves going to feed nutes tomorrow and this time not flush even if Ppm number is high
