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.

Hello Growers and Tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 Nice bit of progress from last week. Bud sites are starting to grow out, buds starting to form. She's way behind the other ladies in forming buds but then again she was planted 6 weeks after so she doesn't have the same veg time. She's also a Sativa, which has a longer flowering period that also might have a lot to do with it. It seems as if she stopped stretching. I sure hope so, because what i've mentioned last week about raising the other ladies has already been done. I used whatever I had laying around, shoe boxes, PlayStation box, old ballast boxes and any other box I found sturdy and useful.. 😂😂 Branches are spreading apart so most likely add a little support around them. That way in flower hopefully they won't fall over. Picture were taken on day 27 of flower. That's pretty much it, still watering every other day. I think that's something I don't even need to mention anymore. As it's just the way I water.. Have a great one! One love!

👸🏼**Grow Report by Zuppler - Week 2 Flowering Phase** 👸🏼 Aye yo, Zuppler checkin' in with the week 2 update from the garden. We deep in this flower stage now, and the ladies are flexin' heavy. We hittin' ‘em with that monkey formula from Advanced Nutrients – you know, that real fire mix – and it’s got them lookin' strong as a pitbull on steroids, no lie. We runnin’ on straight osmosis water too, keepin’ it clean as a whistle, no extra BS in the mix. pH game locked down, always in that sweet spot, and the girls are drinkin' it up like a hot summer day down in Miami. Roots be spreadin' out nice, no signs of stress, they lovin' the setup. Buds are startin’ to stack up, slow but sure. Ain't much frost yet, but I can already tell we about to be drippin' soon. Nodes are tight like a fresh taper fade, and internodes ain’t stretchin’ too wild – just the way we like it. Them leaves stay green as a gator's hide – no burn, no spots, just straight up healthy growth. They dancin' under the lights like it’s a party, and with that 12/12 cycle locked in, the energy’s flowin’ like good vibes at a block party. Everything solid so far, no issues. Yo, we keep it patient, ‘cause this the marathon, not a sprint. Week 3 comin' up, and that’s when we expect to see them trichomes really startin’ to come through. Stay strapped in, 'cause it’s only gettin’ better from here. Zuppler out. Keep it G!

Low humidity seems to be causing what looks like heat stress, apart from that they are growing at a phenomenal rate. Going to try and raise the light another inch but it’s already mounted pretty much to the top of the tent. I forgot how insane hydro growth is lol, next time I will be sure to flip them to 12/12 when they are a little smaller lol

Last week went well. She is growing up at a good steady rate. Hope it continues like this for another week in veg and I think it will be a decent sized auto for being in a 3 gallon container. I started lst training and because of how fast it grew,.it started to split the plant in the middle at the base of the branches. To avoid it splitting and causing damage, I did some supercropping to help even out the canopy some. That's the main goal of the week is evening up the branches.

Hey everyone! Here's the Week 6 update! 😀 and I had some issues! Nothing too serious but still worth mentioning! I had some kind of algae growing in my medium so I stopped watering the plants for a while (I used to feed them twice a week) and I just did it once this week to wait for the plants to use more of the water inside their pots and I think it did work! I also removed most of the soil on the top to avoid spreading anything dangerous to my plants! 😭 Besides that I started doing a more aggressive LST and I also pruned some of the bigger sugar leafs 😲 My plants were also somewhat overfed (or I was close to nutrient locking them) as some of their leafs were quite dark (you'll be able to notice the difference from the color of the new leafs vs the old ones) so for the next schedules I'll just feed them once per week or feed them once then go only with pH'd water and then go back to fertilizers to avoid damaging the plant! 💀 On another note, the smallest plant has grown quite well so next week I'll be swapping her to a new por! I think she deserves it! The 3rd plant now has a name and it's "Boomer"! 😍 I also decided to go for 4 colas instead of 8 because the size available in my tent is small and I don't want risking my plants fighting for light in such a small space! 😢 Anyway, thanks everyone for reading everything so far! Take care! 👽

She start a little bit weak but then she is a big champion plant. Really nice colors. I recommend give all cares possible the firsts weeks and she will do the rest later. When I read that she is very good to extractions I never imagined how good she is for that. I get 159 g of trim from 3 plants. I honestly recommend this strain. I will upload better photos and more info about flavor, dry weigh and all the rest

Week 5 ----- Day 29 ----- Fed 1100ppm at 6.4ph 23 Liters Everything's good. No real updates. Front right Glookies stretched a bit but has stopped. Plants are perfect, couldn't ask for a better beginning to week 5. *Update* Easy day, end of light cycle. 3 new pics. ---- Day 30 ----- Some fun photos today for this easy day. Humidity in basement FINALLY hit 40% this morning. Within 5 days it should be 30-35% residual basement and 45% tent for a good residual humidity. The hand shot has my fingers and palm forward from the bud tip, the bud tip is actually past my hand but it's nearly impossible to get a perfect shot with my arm in the tent and my other one far out trying to take a photo i can't see. The Tropicanna Popcorn nugs are already bigger than my thumb... gonna be fun in 4 weeks to see bud finishing sizes Wedding Cake - Cherry HubbaBubba smell Tropicanna Glookies - Pink Bubblegum with a strawberry like hint peaking through. Tomorrow is feeding. Today is just emptying water from buckets from dehumidifier. *knock on wood* it's easy streak from here on out... 35~ days roughly left. here we grow!! *** Update *** Took some measurements. Wedding cake is monstrous already. Upto 1.5 inch wide, 14inch long (it was longer than the 12" ruler). Popcorn nugs on Tropicanna Glookies already 1inch wide 3 inch long at the top. Beaaautiful. Slow and steady from here on out. ----- Day 31 ----- Beautiful as usual. Fattening up nicely. 1200 ppm 6.4 pH 23 Liters If anyone is wondering why I switched to Blackstrap Molasses I put up the Nutrition Facts.. in 20 grams you have carbohydrates, potassium, Calcium, Iron, B6 Vitamin, Magnesium, Zinc.. and that's only the "significant" nutrients (Human based for that picture) It also contains micro traces of copper and more. pH is quite nice too, with the nutrient regiment i'm on, it finishes itself at 6.4pH so I don't have to manipulate it with pH up/down... Loving everything so far. Humidity in basement was 39% today, SO damn close. Tent closed at lights on (highest residual humidity point) was at 48% ... woo hoo 3% more to go!!! ------ Day 32 ------ Wow. Wedding Cake larger buds I can't even wrap my hand around.. These buds are going to be mooooonstrous. Humidity was under 40% in basement, tent was 48% this morning. Great news for me. Easy day, pretty much standard operating procedures from here on out.. feed, drain dehumidifier, strengthen stems by shaking plants, open/close tents... rinse repeat. Both plants are amazing, great genetics so far regarding bud structure building/plant size. ----- Day 33 ----- 47.5% residual humidity Fed at 1150ppm 6.4pH 23L Everything's perfect, 30~ days left. ----- Day 34 ----- 48% humidity in tent, i'm a happy camper. Everything's perfect. Bulk has started, front right Tropicanna Glookies had double in thickness and diameter top buds of most stems. Wedding cake 14 inch stem I've named Big Bertha. Excited to watch her fatten up on the couch so-to-speak. I'm now on autopilot. Fed yesterday while half asleep, didn't even remember doing it. Thank god I take pics of ppm/pH before every feeding for data. One more feeding this week before week 6 happens tomorrow. This week Liquid Koolbloom ends, KoolBloom Dry begins for maximum bulk on week 6 first feeding (2 days into week 6) ----- Day 35 ----- Last day of week 5!!! Fed at 1150ppm 6.4ph 23L Plants are perfect, humidity is great. Smell is RAMPED up now. Strong candy weed smell.

Finalizamos estas mataro blue,con un olor bastante “inquietante” que se hace de notar,veremos que tal una vez secado y metido al bote. Aquí ya no hay nutrientes,ya que se hizo el lavado de raíces y como dije,posterior engorde por sequía.

Do-Si-dos auto has grew well. She has a strong fruity, citrus aroma. Smells really good. The colas didn't get super big, but looked to be very frosty and dense. This is my first time trying this famous strain. It looks like it will be really good. I never had any huge issues during the grow. I also didn't juice her with nutes like I normally do to others in flowering. I am curious to test the results once I get her processed. Thank you Zamnesia seeds, Athena, and Medic Grow. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱❄️ Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Day 35 – The Northern Express Auto is just starting to throw pistols on the top flower and on the side flowers. She has been a bit more sensitive to the nutrients so I flushed her a few days ago and will start fresh with nutrients as she starts into full flower. She gained about 6" in height this week and it seems she continues to stretch. Continuing to feed the Nectar for the Gods nutrients and have added Triton’s Trawl (liquid fishbone meal that is rich in calcium from fish cartilage and is designed to deliver flavor, aroma and color to the finished product) and Aphrodite’s Extraction (a rich blend of sucrose, fructose, chelated nutrients, and organic acids necessary for enzymatic activity, and a complete balance of vitamins A, C, D, E, B1, B6 and B12, which are essential to a plants’ biological growth processes). These two additions are known to increases oil, resin, frost, and terpene production in flower. Continuing to add Recharge as a soil amendment to establish colonies of beneficial fungal and bacterial microbes. Temperatures are consistently between 74° - 78° and humidity between 30% - 45%. Soil pH is 6.5 and PPMs at 321 which is perfect for the Nectar for the Gods nutrient line. Added a homemade Co2 generator to boost carbon dioxide levels and to improve overall plant growth and health. – Zannabis7 Day 36 - Fed the Nectar of the Gods nutrients as indicated above and in photo. Added Recharge to the nutrient mix for microbes and to aid in the breakdown and uptake of nutrients. - Zannabis7 Day 39 - Fed the Nectar of the Gods nutrients as indicated above and in photo. Again added Recharge to the nutrient mix for microbes and to aid in the breakdown and uptake of nutrients. Also did some very light defoliation and more leaf tucking to expose flower sites - Zannabis7

Schimmel, Schimmel und noch mehr Schimmel. Hab versucht sie am Fenster in der Laube fertig reifen zu lassen. Hat trotzdem weiter geschimmelt, aber trotzdem bestimmt weniger als draußen. Samstag Nacht hab ich sie dann gefällt. Ganz umsonst sollen die 3 Monate ja auch nicht sein. Beim Trocknen kommt bestimmt auch noch bisschen Schimmel durch, den ich beim Wet-Trim bisher übersehen habe. 10-15g sollten es am Ende aber bestimmt trotzdem noch sein. Würde auch behaupten, dass ich die Schimmelspots immer schnell entdeckt habe, um noch Schlimmeres zu verhindern. Nächstes Update dann mit Trockengewicht und Fazit.
