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.

The plants have been on cruise control 🛳️ 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 🤘

Days 92 - 98 (from sprout) 8/23/24 - 8/29/24 Loompa's Headband x TK fading hard this week - checking trichome color through a 15x loupe, needs more time The Good Shit drinking a gallon of water a day but slowly backed off near end of week - my guess would be a 14-week flowering period for this genotype before harvest quality I'm pretty much watering daily a 1/4 gallon to Blue Nose Pit or less to keep mulch layer from drying out Sweet 16 S1 takes the win for most trichome coverage out of the garden, has the most up-front aroma out of the geno hunt PAR is all over the place on this one and totally messed up, after this week I'll raise the light and focus on the appropriate PAR for canopy of The Good Shit Pest Management slipping too, fungus gnats are repopulating and it seems the ecosystem has encountered a serious imbalance of beneficials and predators that normally kept soil/mulch in-check Plan on short-term remedying this with a top-dress of remaining compost + em bokashi and a moderate drench of EM5 following with repeated treatments of enzymes (tweetmint) Long term solution may need a predator/beneficials kit and/or higher quality vermicompost after knocking them back with enzymes

Всем привет. И так, в самом начале недели мы обрезали верхушку, чтобы у нас осталось четыре этажа. Разумеется, растение на пару дней получило стресс, но стало сильно расправлять свои крылья. Первые пятилистники так разрослись, что размах стал 42 сантиметра, а это В ТРИ РАЗА больше чем высота куста. Сфоторграфировал для сравнения с мужской рукой. Толщина черенка 6 мм, это даже толще чем некоторые ветки. Но, к сожалению, от этих листьев пришлось избавиться на 6-ой день, так как они полностью закрывали нижний этаж, от куда рвались наружу ветки. Слегка снизил яркость освещения, чтобы не было сильного стресса, так как эти два лопуха прогоняли через себя очень много воды и были больше всего задействованы в фотосинтезе. Результат не заставил себя долго ждать - куст распушился новыми листьями. Сами ветки уже обросли "мазолями" и растение перешло из ранней веги в слегкий стретчинг. Толщина ствола 1.2см. За 3 недели - это прям очень и очень хорошо. Точно буду переводить на цвет в конце следующей недели, когда ветки вытянутся и их можно будет контролировать по высоте. Нижние ветки развел по диагонали, а верхние ветки крест-накрест. Формируем нашу корону из 8 веток. Одна самая верхняя ветка чуток лопнула, и слегка отсоединилась от ствола, но думаю там тоже скоро нарастет хорошая мозоль. Со следующей недели начну жесткий контроль PH и перейду на трехкомпонентное удобрение от GHE, так как на листьях начинает проявляться то ли недостаток, то ли переизбыток каких-то веществ. Начало серьезно пахнуть, особенно после ночи, и это не смотря на то что растение даже еще не цветет. Пришлось подключать фильтр.

03/10/25. Start week 2 flower or day 8 Again…going with these definitely are based off candy and not size. She’s stretched 8 inches already. Her sister, Mellow yellow, is the same height. As usual she’s still yellow lol. Both seem to be more shy than their friends about showing some buds. Lots of white hairs sprouting all over. I’m sure they’ll be showing up any time now. These things are so bushy and leafy they almost look like some kinda big plant that you’d just see near some piece of art in the corner of your house. Anyhow, they’re drinking a gallon and a half about every 4 days. Usually feed every other water but these were getting a bit of spots around leaf edges.. that I’m thinking is potassium deficiency. So, didn’t skip feeding and actually increasing by going early with green sensation at half dose. The bottle says 4 weeks and up, but if they’re lacking, what can it hurt? I’ve increased light intensity to about 75% and they’re currently 13 inches from it. Going to raise it up some in the morning, as this seems a bit close for the moment. That about covers it for now. ✌️✌️

I'm going to give her the chop sometime this week. Giving her one final watering today, then I'm going to let her dry out til harvest. She smells fucking awesome, super aromatic. It's quite obnoxious not being able to find anything on this strain. But I'll try and describe what she's like. For one, I'd say that once you've got an established plant, it's very painless to grow. I didn't measure waterings or nute feedings. Treated her like a tomato plant basically. The smell is incredible, super fruity with just a hint of skunk... and given the character this strain is named after(💩), let's just say that's a very pleasant surprise 😮 We're in the final stretch of her growth here. I'm not expecting too much yield wise by this point. I want an OZ, so I'm hoping this extra week will get her to chunk up just a bit more. Cheers fellow growers, I would recommend other Ethos strains before this one. But if you're accustomed to their Genetics, this is definitely worth copping for the experience. Really excited to see how she smokes! 🤑😎 Update 10/28/21: Something made me decide to give her a flush and maybe a week or two of extra time. I think she'll start doing the purple fade thingy, as I see purple on some of the tips of calyxes and sugar leaves. I hope for one crop like this every year.. Flushed her yesterday and took the updated pictures(the ones in the dark) today. Looks like she REALLY put on some weight between yesterday and today. I mean I had to stake her up, that's how chunky she's getting. The stems and branches look like they're on the brink of snapping 😳 Looking back, I don't think I've had a plant get this chunky by this point in flower. Makes me super excited I have more beans of this stuff. I may end up leaving a lower branch to chuck her into the veg tent post-harvest, I'm seriously that in love with this strain.

My Northern Lights number 10 plant is the biggest in the tent so far, and it's stacking like crazy. I love the short leaves – they're perfect for fitting a bunch of branches into a small space, even though they're really big. It's been a challenging week with the constant rain and ridiculously high humidity. Keeping things dry indoors has been a real struggle. Despite the weather, I managed to flip all my feminized photoperiod plants to flower this week. I'm hoping the switch will go smoothly, but with this humidity, it's going to be tough.

Day 15 - (video) went in and did a round of defoliation, focusing mainly on fan leaves, clearing out the underbrush to help improve air circulation. Despite this being my first mainline, I'm feeling pretty proud of my work so far. 😊 Day 16 - I've made it through the boring part of the flowering hump, and I now have little baby buds forming. 💕 I still struggle with deciding how much / how little to keep as far as undergrowth and side branches, but I am happy with how she's grown thus far! Her roots are ridiculous! I am having to add a gallon to my reservoir at least every other day. 💦 She's a tank! 😜 I took a few cuttings from this plant and very lazily used my own saliva as a rooting gel and tossed them in water in a window. All of them have rooted. These genetics are strong 💪💪 💪 . It's starting to smell a little happy in the tent too. 😉
