First week of flower is in the books. I posted my feeding schedule in the pics above. If you find yourself looking at it wondering why you're seeing back to back feeds with mycos or teas its because with organics you never want to let your pots dry out. You obviously dont want to waterlog the pots but you need to find that balance with watering so as to keep your ecosystem happy and active. It's not a feed/water/water system where you're watering every other day as you do with salt based bottled nutrients. Always remember you're feeding the microboes/fungi/bactria and they are feeding your plants. If you dry your pots out with organics those elements become dormant and or die off which will lead to deficiencies and a weakened immune system. The week was going smoothly until last night. The timer for whatever reason didnt kill the lights after 12 hrs had past so they got a little over an hr of extra light. To help maintain consistency with the plants I just altered on/off times to make sure they still recieved 12 hrs of darkness. So I was running 6pm-6am now with the overage last night I'm running 730pm-730am. I have heard some horror stories about how something like this has affected people's plants but they are few and far between. I'm not overly worried about it as a plant thats growing outdoors never gets a true 12/12 lighting period. I caught it early, adjusted my lighting schedule to accommodate a 12 hr off period, and being so early in the flowering stage I should be ok. Obviously it goes without saying but this is taboo and not something you want to be making a habit of with photoperiod plants. My dehumidifier also decided to do it's own thing last night and didn't shut off as per the settings (set to 45%) and as a result it pulled my humidty down to 39% down from the 45%-47% that the room usually runs at. As a result my temps rose into the 28-29 Celsius range overnight up from the 25-26 Celcius (my preferred flowering temps) that the room usually sees. So she was quite the party downstairs while I was sleeping. To my surprise when I turned the lights on the plants looked very happy and healthy and immediately started praying to the sun gods. I got lucky here with respect to what I was speaking about above with watering practices and organics. As I keep my pots in the sweet spot with daily waterings this didnt negatively affect the plants. I've prepped and am bubbling a compost tea (posted a video) which will be fed tomorrow. I also through some organic popcorn seeds and organic mung bean seeds in the seed sprouter (pic posted above) to make a popcorn/mung bean SST for the plants that's loaded with all kinds of enzymes and goodness. It's also pretty sweet to be able to say you feed your plants popcorn. Like I mean really though 😁. I'll talk a little more about SSTs next week but if your curious about it there are many websites about this topic, homesteadandchill.com would be a great place to start. They lightly touch on topic without diving to deep into the science behind it so it's easy reading to help introduce you.

Sehen sehr schön und gesund aus. Der Strech war echt heftig und jetzt sind die komplett in der Blütenbildung. Fokus in Woche 1-6 der Blüte liegt auf BioMasse, danach wird die Temp und Lichtintensität stetig runter gefahren. 2x UVB Röhren mit rein gehängt, liefern pro Tag bisher 2-3 h ohne sichtliche Veränderung… wird auf jedenfall stetig gesteigert. Hab 2x Entlaubt und ggf wird nochmal einiges entlaubt zwecks Lichtpenetration. Vielleicht kommen noch Sidelights dazu. Hatte auch sehr Probleme die RH im passenden Bereich zu halten da das Beet zu viel Wasser bekommen hat, seit 3 Tagen habe ich nicht mehr gegossen und nur das Wasser verbrauchen lassen.

Fourth week at 12/12 🌷 She's starting to show his future gifts, hopefully super tasty and powerful.. For now it promises well 💪👌 She has also start makes her first trichomes and already smell lovely a little bit 😋 I must need to say the true about her and on his sister , also her in limited edition.. They surprising me , I wasn't expect this vigour.. Also because I don't see other growers growing this genetics , and so , I really don't know what she comes out at the end 🙌 But for now I'm really happy and I think she is happy too..

She costantly pray her God ( name'sBlack-Dog ) because every time I looking her she has always the leafs up 🙏☀️😁 She's really devoted plant And also his sisters.. I don't think they become nuns ⛪ But definitely they can help me to better find the way to Heaven 🧘‍♂️ Leaving aside these stoner thoughts.. From this week I have started to give her only regular water about three times a week.. And for two times I have add molasses ( not sulphurate ) Like I say in all previous weeks , she take what her need from the Living soil whit high-brix recipe then I made More info in the first few weeks , but I also want to write in the harwest exactly any form of nutrients I have use for create this envrioment.. I think can be intresting for somebody wants to grow in different way.. Im not a expert grower , a soil scientist or somnthingh like that , I just have passion and wants to know the best way to do things , in this case about our green lovley 💚 And I find it's a cool way growing like this 👌🔥 Anyway.. She and her two sisters are in the same phase , same grow-box and also under the same led light ( two Black-Dog phytomax 2 200 pannels ) I have and I using the same metodology with her and her sisters , and I think to I will do it trought the end.. She and her two sisters are in the same phase , same grow-box and also under the same led light ( but two pannels ) I have and I using the same metodology with her and her sisters , and I think to I will do it trought the end .. You can find they in the link below 😉👇👇 BRUSSKI RUSSKI (Bruce Banner × White Russian) Limited edition https://growdiaries.com/diaries/50439-bruce-banner-white-russian-grow-journal-by-funclouds And..

Defoliation again, as you will see, gave the girls plenty of room for air to circulate.

1 week left until i flip, the blue dream and white runtz are lagging behind but the pineapple express, and ghost train are begging for flower! day 54, and what a beautiful first grow it has been so far, these girls have responded well to all the punishment i could dish out in training and have responded with a beautiful even canopy. cannot wait to see them flower day 55, midday, lights are off for the next 36 hours to expedite the flowering process.

Buds are fattening up pretty well and I've had to use more rubber garden wire and clips to keep the branches from bending over. Smell is increasing on the Northern Light but still a mild skunk on the Black Devil. Also gave the very last feeding on the plants this week so they will get nothing but water until the chop. I'm very happy with the microbe populations so I stopped feeding the sugars (molasses/agave) as the plants themselves don't get much out of them; that stuff is just for feeding the soil beasties. I had added some predatory mites several weeks ago to deal with some springtails, and the mites annihilated the population. I did find a developing larva though so there are still some around. Posted lots of microscope videos today.

Bonjour à tous les padawans et les maîtres jedis La semaine 4 va être décisive pour cette demoiselle car je vais pratiquer sur elle un main-lining et un LST Je précise que le main-lining n'est pas recommandé pour les autofloraisons car son cycle de vie prédéfinie ne lui permet pas de ce remettre pleinement. Cela aura forcément un impact sur son rendement, pour des raisons esthétiques et un espace de culture restreint je n'ai pas d'autre choix. Pour ce main-lining j'ai attendu le jour 24 et l'apparition du septième noeuds. Une fois le main-linning terminé je pratiquerai la technique du LST ce qui me permettra d'avoir une canopé plus homogène donc une meilleure pénétration lumineuse et par conséquent un meilleur rendement. Vous pouvez voir une vidéo de mon main-lining qui détaille la manière dont je procède pour réaliser cette technique. Petit rappel et explications sur cette technique: Le main-lining a toujours été une technique très populaire parmi les cultivateurs, puisqu'avec des ajustements simples pendant la première étape de croissance, vous vous garantissez des récoltes plus que productives. Il s'agit de faire pousser la plante de façon verticale et symétrique afin de profiter au maximum de la lumière et de l'espace, des aspects très recherchés dans les cultures d'intérieur. En guidant les branches avec des cordes et une série de tailles initiales, vous établirez des patrons de croissances vigoureux pour vos plantes. COMMENT METTRE EN PLACE LE MAIN-LINING En partant de la graine, attendez que votre plante ait au moins développé 5 nœuds. Lorsqu’ils seront formés, taillez la plante au niveau du troisième nœud. Retirez tout ce qui s’est développé en dessous du troisième nœud(Moi j'enlève que le premier et garde le deuxième et troisième). Cela formera le Y ou le T initial que vous recherchez. Permettez à votre plante de se remettre de ce stress imposé durant quelques jours avant de passer à l’étape suivante. Votre plante comporte désormais deux pousses principales(ou 4 si vous gardez le deuxième noeud). Ces dernières devraient être attachées avec du fil ou de la ficelle(ou du fil de fer). Cela dirigera la croissance de manière horizontale. Faites bien attention en attachant les branches, ne les brisez surtout pas. Soyez doux. Une fois que la plante s’est un peu développée, vous vous retrouverez avec 4 tiges principales. Vous pourrez répéter ce processus autant de fois que vous le souhaiterez, accédant ainsi à de plus gros rendements. Rappelez-vous tout de même que plus vous répéterez ce processus, plus la période de croissance sera longue. Sauf pour les autofloraisons car étant donné le temps additionnel qu’il lui faut, le main-lining n’est pas compatible avec les variétés à autofloraison. Les autofloraisons ont des cycles de croissance très rapides, et d’ici à ce que la technique soit mise en place, la moitié de leur développement sera déjà passé. Cela pourrait potentiellement endommager les récoltes et cela influe sur le rendement Dès que vous aurez produit la quantité désirée de séparations, il ne sera plus qu’une question de temps avant que des têtes uniformes commencent à apparaître. Une légère défoliation régulière durant le cycle de croissance vous permettra également de vous assurer d’une distribution égale de la lumière, et empêchera votre plante de gâcher de l’énergie avec de grandes feuilles superflues. Retirez ces feuilles dès qu’elles commencent à prendre trop de place. Que la force soit avec vous 💪

Todo se ve muy bien por aquí hasta ahora, ya empezamos engorde. Esperemos cómo van respondiendo la siguiente semana que aumente las dosis. Muy feliz con los resultados obtenidos hasta ahora. Si que vale la pena dedicarles tiempo y ser paciente con el proceso. Seguramente la próxima semana iniciaré otros diarios con una cacería con unas regulares, una automática y otra feminizada junto a un esquejé de esta white widow que pude hacer.

Day 18: The canopy is developping nice and evenly. I wonder how much mire they will stretch. I think that ill do some defoliation at the beginning of week 4 Day 20: Today I did a big defoliation right before the third flowering week ends. It was a tough job reaching all the leaves in the back because I cant move the plants.😅 But we made it! Now the light can reach much further down the plants for better/bigger buds and better aeration.

End of Week 6 Added CO2 with regulator and controller! Added the trellis net to spread out the canopy and get more even light to bud sites. The ladies have lost some momentum and they're drinking less because of the pest issue. Although they should be growing faster because of the CO2 supplementation I'm sure when the thrips are gone they will explode. I also performed some HST by removing fan leaves and softly pinching and bending some of the stems to open up the canopy whilst keeping the stress at a minimal. Pest Report: Still fighting the thrips... Every time I spray Bio-Insek and Xterminator (Agro-Organics) it deals with the problem for a few days until the eggs and larvae that the thrips left behind hatch and start munching on the plants again. The ladies are strong and healthy and get a slight wilt when I haven't sprayed IPM for a few days this tells me that its not a major issue but I need to get rid of them especially because I want to flip to flower soon. It seems that the problem is under control. Now I will apply it weekly to make sure those buggers are ELIMINATED.

Plants named (starting from front) Trump, creepy uncle Joe and Hillary we'll see how each ones does. Figured Joe wants to be in the middle. Trump: Explosive growth and hitting limits of tent space, root zone is stuffed full of fuzzy roots. Buds keep smashing into LED, daily checks needed. No mango hairs yet on bud; maybe next week. Clones pulled right before flowering cycle switch. tldr: Stop growing damn-it! Creepy joe: Squished in the middle and not doing great, but overall joe is still a happy plant, just seems somewhat lost at times. Not alot of stretching on switch. Hillary: Moderate growth overall doing well on the edge; medium performer and should have decent results. She wanted her own lime light; so brought back in the Chinese (branded LED) to shine a bit more brightness to her area. ########Update 7/10 ###################################################################### PH 5.9 Humidity: 79% PPM 1100 CO2 400 Temp 72F cycle time 2mins-off/5seconds-on side notes; need more CO2
