11/4 130am Lights up to 77 watts 4.3 grams Maxi-Grow powder this week. Using mix from last week. Will probably switch to Bloom by Wed.
11/5 12am Canopy Creations LST things are great resistance training builds huge branches!!!
They are amazing. 10am growing fast and big after today’s watering!!!
Garlic muffin and fatso have the thickest branches that I’ve ever seen the side branches are thicker than what I got when I was growing in bigger containers so these nutrients and the soil and this light wattage seems to be a good formula I have to save this and work on it And stressing with the Canopy Creations has doubled the diameter of the branches that I have been stressing. Just great results.
11/6 Galic is the strongest so far her branches are THICK, a perfect 4 cola grow. Each of the 4 branches are as thick as the main stem on my first few tries at this.
12am They were all dry gave water probably last week using Grow switching to Bloom nutrients. Extremely strong plants from Seedsman!!!! When I finally got them going I found using Maxi-Grow & Rapid Start made a huge difference!!! Only Rapid Start for the first week.
11/7 1am GM & CA are huge now!!
lights up 89W as the leaves fold up a little for the heat I will raise them an inch or so. 1pm did water today. They are starting to flower
11/8 12:30am Switched to Bloom nutrients yesterday after the last feeding with Grow they all went to sleep right away after that and are waking up now with flowers forming. I will use 4grams Bloom, 0.4 Purpinator, 0.5 Rapid Start, 0.4 Silica, 0.4 Cal/Mag. Silica causes fluctuations in pH.
2am Galic is a MONSTER, and Seedsman is out of them. Fatso is next for size. I can not believe how huge the branches are this technique of 4 colas in a small 1 gallon container. These plants will be perfect for this
9am LST crazy day!!! I have never been able to train the small set of first branches that come off the first node on plants before until seedsmen Faso and garlic🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
11/9 1am flowering I might have to split them up into 2 tents they are all getting bigger than I thought they could, this is just great! after 20 fails I think im getting this small grow style worked out.
1:30pm moved the RSQ's into tent 3. Tent 2 not big enough but I'll make it work. Once I harvest the plants from the 🎃 Halloween All the Darkness grow it will be easier. Galic & Fatso by Seedman are HUGE very thick branches, thick side branches responds to training extremely well. Strongest F1's!

Day 14 and the Cali snow is growing pretty well. I upped the maxigro to .5 tsp per gallon and started them on a little armor si so they can build some strong branches. Still running them on 24 hour light and 24 hour irrigation. They are going to stay under the blurple lights for a few more weeks until I can get them in the big room under the quantum boards. I'm hoping they will flower around 4 weeks but my autos seem to enjoy staying in veg so we will see what happens.

On day 120 Green Gelato #1 was chopped down after being left to dry and 48 hours of darkness. Harvest will be updated next week when Green Gelato #2 is chopped as well.
Hulkberry #1 is almost ready to get chopped. Was last flushed yesterday and will be chopped once it gets dry and 24 hours of darkness.
Hulkberry #2 and #3 will stay the full week and hopefully will be ready to get chopped the week after.

Hello Growers and Tokers! 👋 👩🌾 🧑🌾.🔥💨
Sorry for the delay on the weekly updates, had some things I had to attend but I'm back and at it!
These pictures were taken a week after the 21 day flower defoliation, day 27 of flower to be exact.
Great progress this week with the bud site, glad to see the defoliation is giving it's fruits.
Buds are filling in space which is just what I want now, fill up as much space as possible that way in the fast weeks they can fatten up and be nice dense colas.
CC1 & CC3 have the best trichome production and bud growth so far despite having the structure all messed up and uneven.
I got some nice pics in of that half loop I was talking about last week. Every time I see it I think, ¨Man, I want to grow a canna bonsai."
CC2 is doing great, bud formation is going a bit slower than the other two but it's still nice.
I'm rooting for this one in highest yield because between the three because she has the most evenly divided canopy.
The Aroma got MUCH stronger this week. When I open up the tent it's a sweet caramel punch to the face.
Don't mind that punch at all! 😍😍
I've had to raise all my plants because the San Fernando Lemon Kush stretched more than I expected.
Bad calculation on my part given it's a sativa I should have expected it would triple in height.
So now I've got all my ladies on top of shoe boxes, Playstation box, old ballast boxes, pretty much any sturdy box I could fix.
Before putting them in there I cleaned them down, making sure nothing unwanted would be joining the garden.
Things look good so far, next week I'll be adding an organic PK boost to the feed. For that extra boom in bloom.
Hope you're enjoying this progress like me.
Have a great day!
One love!

Been a minute growmies but I’m back with some updates. This week I realized I was going to have to get a new tent ASAP. Was really trying not to have to but it is inevitable. She is huge now! Even tried throughout this week and next to do some tie down with string to fabric pots. Sorry for wait…. I know she was sad towards the end of the week 😞.
8/31: Started new batch of nutes. Did a massive defoliation today as well! A lot more light through the canopy now. Cut dying bottom branches.
9/1: Did a lot of defoliation today. Even removed some of the lower branches not getting sufficient amount of light.

Day 58 : She is fattening her buds also with a slower rhythms. CO2 stopped for all ladies. As you can see trichomes still are in cloudy period. So she needs couple weeks for sure.
Edit (Day 62) : I watered again with nutrients. She is very stinky lady. She has a smell that reminds be bubble gum, so lovely. One of favorite tastes in bud.

Week 8 Day 1: how did we get here?! Northern Lights is looking beautiful (the only plant in a 5 gal pot outside). No major issues. Kids were fed liquid nutrients for the second time 9/8, and will be recieving them once a week moving forward (hopefully every other watering). Gotta find a way to make watering a smoother process tho, might invest in a home RO filter 😂 Big dreams being discussed, this could be the start of the only cultivation, breeding, and distribution center that has a primary focus on re-entry and subsequent business development.. That’s how you do socially responsible business and policy.
You heard me?

8/22 - There has been some explosive growth among my 4 purple Microdots. They are growing by leaps and bounds each day,
8/23 - So far everything is going smoothly. Just watering each day w/ RO water and organic black strap molasses.
8/24 - Brewing up some compost tea. This will be there first! As they start to get a little bigger I've made a prediction for sex. I think A238 & A239 are male and A240 & A241 are female. We'll see!
8/25- Fed the ladies with the compost tea and used it as a foliar spray as well. They responded very well and continue to have crazy, rapid, growth.
8/27 - They have gotten so big and bushy. I'm going to start a little LST on them today!
8/30 - They are starting to show sex! Still can't tell whether it's male or female...but it should be any day now!

Ultimaaa semana!! O eso quiero esperar jaja No ha sido facil, y la mimosa no le gusta compartir el espacio con geneticas mas grandes! Una planta que come mucho y no pude dar con la tecla para su mayor bienestar. Sin dudas voy a volver a cultivarla, tiene un olor muy frutal con toque a gas(diesel) al menos yo le siento. Tratamos de bajar ec en esta semana y ya comenzamos a lavar con flawless que viene cargadita.

This week i pull the light down to 40 CM away from the colas preparing for flowering stage. this week i in crease an organic food ratio to 3 ML/L and in a couple of weeks i will increase a little more to 3.5 ML/L and still feed in Veg nutes. I think, She is quite ready to get through the flowering stage. Any recommendation for me before i turn to 12/12 cycle for flowering?

Spent the week rinsing and massaging roots, cleaning, filling then re-cleaning and refilling reservoirs. The rot is gone. Replaced with beneficial microbes from Advanced Nutrients Tarantula, that I made into a tea. This tea has cured the rot and also made a huge contribution to the roots and therefore, the whole plant.
Am very impressed with the plants progress, vigour, vitality and strength!
Now that the crisis is over, I'll be using the tea twice weekly to replenish the ranks.

Aug 16: Tropicana Cookies FF is a really fast flowering plant. I’m getting excited for the flowering progress cuz it looks like it is going to be a big one. Very exciting and we’re still only at mid-August so the timing is very good for a strong finish in September without it dragging into October.
Aug 18: video shows using the 730 nm far red light at dusk. To maintain a natural schedule I use Civil Twilight as listed on timeanddate.com. This is getting 2-3 minutes earlier each night. Just a couple seconds is all it takes to put plant into dark mode 2 hours faster making it like a 26 h day. Great trick if you have daily access.

14 days on the auto watering system and the girls are looking happy. Everything survived well and my reservoir size was just right. They are looking a little hungry, but nothing s fresh mix of nutes shouldn't fix.
Things are starting to look frosty.
I'll Be pulling all the Larfy bits this week to optimize my tops.
