The plants have been on cruise control πŸ›³οΈ so far and they’re loving every second of it! Despite all of them being popped around the same time, I can see the purple lemonade finishing up much faster than the lsd-25’s. No deficiencies to my eyes, slowly plumping up day by day 🀘

🌿 Week 10 Update: Entering the "Bulking" Phase (Flower Week 5) We’ve hit a major milestone! The plants have officially finished their "stretch," and we are moving into the most exciting part of the cycle: The Fattening. πŸ› οΈ The "Improvise & Overcome" Moment Sometimes in a grow, things don't go exactly as planned, and you have to know how to handle it yourself. I saw the colas getting too close to the LEDs and didn't waited for a disasterβ€”and I took action and raised the whole tent. That’s the sign of a real grower: being able to adapt your environment to the plant's needs on the fly. By creating that extra headspace, i’ve protected the harvest from light bleaching and heat stress. πŸ’Ž What’s Happening Now: β€’ Resin Explosion: This is the week where the "frost" really takes over. Trichome production is ramping up, and the scent is likely getting much more intensely i needed to add some silica. β€’ Bud Architecture: The flowers are no longer getting taller; they are growing "out." They are filling in the gaps and becoming dense. β€’ The PK Hunger: The plants are craving Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K). ⚠️ Critical Checklist for Week 5: 1. Humidity Drop: RH between 40% – 50%. Dense buds trap moisture, and we want to keep mold (Bud Rot) far away. 2. Airflow: Since i raised the tent, i needed to make sure fans are repositioned to move air across the top of the canopy and through the middle. 3. Watering: They are thirsty! Keeping the moisture consistent, as even a short drought now can stress the production of essential oils. One love growmies πŸ€œπŸΌπŸ€›πŸ» UPDATES- 16.1.26 Short video shooting, there are still some issues, but im looking forward strong dense buds

I am excited to try out this new gorilla cookies from fastbuds. I originally started this setup to compete in the solo cup challenge, but I needed something that will be minimal maintainence and doesn't require hand watering. So this is what I ended up with. I will not be entering since I know it will bring controversy, but I am going to follow the rules and treat this grow as if I am competing. I didn't want to use regular solo cups because last time I had a lot of algae growing in the root zone when I harvested. I opted to use a black light proof cup. These cups were 27 oz originally so I filled them with 16 oz of water, marked the level, then cut them down to 16 oz. I set the drain pipes about an inch from the bottom so they have a little reserve if I have pump or power issues. I know people will see the drains as a way for roots to grow out of the cup but in reality I have to keep the entire pipe free of roots or it will clog and overflow. So I am actually losing a little volume due to this. I filled the bottom inch or so of the cups with river gravel to stop the perlite from washing into the reservoir. I am running a 5 gallon reservoir with a small air pump and the plants will be getting irritated 24 hours a day from an aquarium power head pump. I set the system up to be totally self contained and easily portable. It was all built from things I had laying around other than 97Β’ for the cups. I will be keeping the feed simple as always feeding maxigro and maxibloom with a couple flower boosters.

Warning to anyone that growing this strain. It is a huge plant be careful not to let it get to big before flipping to flower. Also this plant is a beast at stacking. Do not lollipop this strain let it grow and then around day 18 or so of flower anylize the plant and lollipop only the lowers that branch out. There will not be that many the plant is almost full stack Week three of flower is off to an amazing start! At day 22, the ladies are looking incredibly healthy. They're praying like crazy, reaching for the light, and stacking nodes like it's their job. The buds are starting to plump up, and the trichome production is getting intense. I'm so excited to see how they develop over the next few weeks!

Harvest day 72 since time switch to 12 / 12 h Hey guys :-) Finally it's time πŸ’š The lady is done the large leaves have been removed and hung upside down to dry in the dark drying room. You can now stay there for 13-15 days at a temperature of 18-20 degrees and 55-62% humidity. After 13-15 days it is neatly trimmed by hand and placed in jars with boveda packs 62. After 4 weeks Boveda 58% come in and are ready for testing ;-). After everything has been cut cleanly, the last update comes with the smoke report and the finished pictures. Let's get to the plant πŸ’š. Unfortunately, the rating system at Growdiaries is a bit strange because I have to give the stars before the Smoke Report and in the end it might have led to more stars in terms of taste. The growth was great from start to finish. She had no problems at all and also had no problems with animals πŸ‘. I'm amazed at the great smell the beautiful buds give offπŸ˜€. Of course I cut cuttings and if the taste is as good as the smell it will be grown again ☺️. A final report comes with the Smoke Report.

All seems to be going well. I'm watering twice a week with 80ml per plant. Using mainly plain water with a little Fish Mix. If growth is strong this week, I'll look potting into 5 gallon pots next week. I've begun some small training with my fingers to keep the stalks malleable and see what shape I want. Once they're in their final pots I'll start training with clips.

Hello. This is the end of week 10 and the beginning of week 11 of flowering. The first pictures are of the tent opening in the morning. And I put it back each night. That allows me to go into flowering when I want. One more week of veg to go, before I turn it over to flowering. And it will be around August 7th to August 15 when I'll harvest. The plants have filled out their space now. and most are growing over the edges of the table. I plan to get growing tips going up this week. with a big prune/trim about 3 days before I switch. I like to let the plants heal for 3 or 4 days before going into flowering. To get over the shock I caused by trimming them up. Then they can go into flowering easier and turn over faster if they don't have to heal first. The smell when I open the tent is like slightly metallic, a bit sour ish, like some good Afghani hashish smells. Each plant got an extra minute of nutrient solution in the morning this week with no leaking out the bottom this week. And they will get another minute in a couple of weeks. That will make 4 minutes a day of food, and I feel with my fingers, when they feel dry around the edges they get a gallon or 2 of rainwater. They look healthy. No signs of bugs or pest. When I was opening the tent a few days ago I saw a ladybug, just sitting under one of the lights, getting warm πŸ˜‰ and helping. My friend Jerry, who you've seen in other diaries, gave me lots of bamboo, some 7 feet long, to make a sort of netting to hold up the buds rather than tie them to the tent pole roof. OK. Stuff to do. See ya later. Chuck.
