My good friend convinced me that trimming and training are paramount, so I've started with slowly defoliating the Creme de la Chems to try and get to lollipop status. They're just starting to flower, so I figured I could get away with a more aggressive approach. Because I failed to train these girls early, I'm stuck dealing with a little rain forest. What I've tried to do is trace each flower topped stalk up from the base, and trim away from the bottom up. 1/3 of the way up per day. I've now got a thick canopy, and I've been trying to just use leaf tucking and manual manipulation every few hours in order to keep the different height flowering sites in direct light. These ladies have really been thriving, and it's been such a joy to watch them grow! I like having two plants in one net pot letting them grow wild, but I think in my next grow I'll keep it to one per pot and train better from the start. As for the Super Orange Haze ... not as good. I attempted to pull the main branch over to train her to some empty space, but I was too aggressive and ended up popping her head off :(. First grow, first disaster. I took the head and stripped her/coated in clonex and pushed her into some potting soil just to see what would happen. There hasn't been enough foliage to really make me want to do any trimming, I've just tried to tie the stalks off to train them apart. I'm really sad about my mistake decapitation, but she seems to be doing well still. She's probably week 2 of flower based on others' journals. I changed the water midway through the week (which is when the videos were taken). I drained most of the water out, but roots prevented me from getting the last few gallons. When I refilled the res with RO, I measured the PPM at around 200. I have to assume that remaining nutrient was completely unbalanced leftovers, so feeding will have to just have to be experimental. My approach has been to give around 1:1 Gro vs Bloom and Micro every 2-3 days when I refill with RO. I want to build my PPM up to 1000, but slowly so that I can detect if I hit a ceiling first. It's hard to measure how much food is in the water based on PPM. CalMag is what drives it mostly, so I've been using CalMag as a sort of measuring stick. I keep the CalMag pegged to the Bloom food, but I know it's only good for initial dosing. I can't assume the plants are eating CalMag in the same proportion as anything else :(. If anyone has a line on cheap lab testing ... hit me up. I'd love to be able to test a few hundred samples at a time for NPK and trace so that I can tell (even if post facto) what was going on.

Cette semaine c'est bien passé gros développement des plantes.

Hey everyone 😊 This week they were put in the flower chamber :-). I am curious how both phenotypes develop 😊. I will now wait about 7-10 days until the actual flowering begins, then I will add 2 g of GHSC Powder Bio Bloom per liter of substrate. Otherwise everything is going as it should and I'm looking forward to next week new update. Until then, I wish you all the best, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let ea grow 🍀👋 You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/sweet-skunk-f1-fast-version/ Type: Sweet Skunk F1 Fast Version ☝️🏼 Genetics: Sweet Skunk Auto (SWS34) X Early Skunk 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

Week 14, day 99, the second week of flowering has started, and it shows on the plant. It looks like Cookies Gelato #1 has started flowering before #2 and #2 started before #3. Look at the photos from above, I cannot wait to see when flowers will be enormous and lots of them!! Of course there is no weed smell yet but the plants have a wonderful smell of mint and lime. I'm also still trying to LST the plants even if they are mature, just to get a bit more light. Approximately two more months and I'll be ready to harvest, I think the yield will be terrific. Have a good one everybody :)

3/23: I flushed the shortie for the first time today with about 10 gallons of warm filtered water and Sledgehammer. I'll flush her again in several days, let her dry back out a bit and stick her in the dark for a day before I sneak up on her with my lopping shears. I had let them go totally dry for a few days, so I fed the taller one with about 3/4 gallon including terpinator, signal, sweet & sticky, cal-mag, armor si, cha ching, tiger bloom, big bloom, and humic acid. This was her last feeding with any nutes, but I'll probably water her with some sweet & sticky and terpinator once more before flushing. 3/27: She wasn't completely dry yet, but I went ahead and flushed the shortie again today with about 8 gallons of warm filtered water. That's it for her....I'll give her another few days in the 'sun', and I've put a 12w MiracleLED blue bulb about 4 inches away from her, along with a 22w blue panel above her and the other shortie to make her think it's wintertime and maybe get her to put on a thicker coat of trichomes before she finishes. I gave the bigger one about 3/4 gallon including sweet & sticky, signal, terpinator, cal-mag and a little bit of cha ching. She'll get flushed for the first time once she's dry. This strain smells amazing!

Hello fellow growers week 4 is upon us for the cookies gelato by RQS Day 22 Veg Phase I think i have bin trying to mutch technieks at same time idk it's my first grow . So the first topping i did didn't work there is still something sprouting out so i think that was fail on the cookies gelato #2 so i just Going to try to LST the main . Cookies Gelato #1 was topped yesterday and i think that work better 🤔 but i did say that with First topping 🤣🤣🤣. In the process i did twist some main leaves on both plants i hope that didn't do to mutch damage to the process . Like was saying before i am still new to and very eager to learn . But to mutch at same time cannot be good either Will see true the day's thanks for stopping by and have a look good luck growing everybody 💪💪 Day 23 Veg Phase So today i find out that i wasn't doing topping but FIMing . And yeah it looks like it . She didn't stop growing but made more sprouts 😎😎😎. Came home today and all looking good 👍👍 Day 24 Veg Phase Broke one of my big leaves 😢 with doing the LST clips . It was def my own fault but you learn from your mistakes 🤘 Day 25 Veg Phase They are looking good i see some yellow spots on some point of leaves but i think they had to much nutrients so i have bin giving just regular water in between watering . I have 4 plants growing and it looks like there all half week apart from each other . It's not very consistent but it def helps me see if something happens with First plant i can do something before it will happen to the other ones . Day 26 Veg Phase I have def bin giving them to much nut i saw white salt build up on my fabric pots . So today i have flush them with pH 6 water until all the soil was moist and would drain out . Now i am going to be not giving them anything until next week of growing phase 2days from now . And then start keeping up EC levels etc . Day 27 Veg Phase No watering just some LST with the clips on plant is def topped the other wel look your self it's a monster lol Day 28 Veg Phase Week 4 of Veg is over doing good no watering today . Tomorrow will be giving nutrition to water again 🤘🤘

Buds get thicker and thicker :) Added some CalMag from Canna Mono.

Welcome to 📅 Day 64 5/17/2021. I am very happy with her progress so far and 4 weeks left till harvest and the Mars hydro TS 1000 💡 is doing its job like a champ 🏆. stay tuned as I will update on thurs, till then happy growing and as always keep your stick in the ice 🏒 update:📅Day 67 5/20/2021 not much change but she is doing great and the TS 1000 is working like a champ

Plantitas sanas.

Went abit over the top with the defoliation but first time for everything think people call it mainlining or something and looks like the cuttings have took there’s new green growth

Day 21 - as of today, the Alaskan Diesel(@seedsman) is showing her girl parts. The Face Fat(@atlasseed) did the same yesterday. Which means......I got 5 girls, as I suspected I would. But it still blows my mind🤯. I love when they do that😍😁. Thanks to @fast_buds, @atlasseed and @seedsman🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Nice start of flowering

un peu moins de 5 mois de culture pour ce résultat, c'est long certes mais rendu sympa Faire attention à l'humidité, ventilation si indica ... mais sinon globalement tout à été très bien . A voir quand cela est sec .

Week 10 not long now these smell amazing like sweet blueberry and there's definitely something I've had before when I've bought some personal but can't quite get my head round the smell. started introducing overdrive now as they start to finish fattening and ripening up can definitely see swelling going on over the last 3 days thanks for viewing and happy

Plant is growing good. Still really pretty to me. Hoping to flip around day 60

Mixed biobizz all mix with extra eggshells, palm tree ash, extra worms casting and fish blood and bones.

second week of flowering done. They were stretching like crazy. Installed a 3rd net to keep the stretch under control. Jumped from 35 cm to 83 cm in 2 weeks. They giving me some headache because of the hight. Should have send them 1 or 2 weeks earlier into flower. But it’s a lesson how to handle or not handle hybrids and sativas. Over all in was quite relaxing just adding water/ nutrients and doing some defoliation. So far so good. it’s quite easy to keep them on the same level with 3 nets. Still learning how to handle certain situations and conditions. But so far I am happy. They have got a massive need of Kalium at the moment. Should have given them more TA -Grow nutrients. But that’s party of learning. Really happy about the aeroponic setup. Really like the full control of the grow medium. (Compared to soil it’s easier for control freaks). Really water efficient compared to dwc/hydro/soil and changes made take effect pretty fast. Really nice oxygen supply at the roots and overall nice control possibilities regarding to roots and medium/solution. A possible downside could be that u can only use mineral nutrients and no organic nutrients. (We want some bacteria and fungus but not these ones that break down organic nutrients. That is more a preference thing than anything else. Good made hydro can compete with soil easily but most ppl put to much in there and ruin it any way. (Don’t want to trigger its good that everyone got its own style and evolves it in his needs and conditions.) The maintenance effort that is required for aero is a bit higher than soil and dwc but it pays off. (Personal opinion but numbers proof it) Looking forward to the next weeks and flower build up.

Another solid week, I've upped the EC of the solution a bit to keep her going as she transitions into flower. Starting to get a sweet smell now and I see a few purple pistils mixed in as well. Things are about to get fun!
