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.

Outside temperatures are getting hot, 30+ degrees, meaning hot inside the tent, night temperatures hotter than day in the photo period tent, but Blueberry ghost og is budding beautifully, with purple starting to show, girl scout cookies is looking frosted and stardawg an critical orange punch auto close to harvest, mothers are growing nicely and I should be able to clone the new seeds soon. I have harvested the sour orange auto and some white rhino also, hanging now, will update weight next week 🦏🦏😀😀

Hi all, sorry for the delay, all continues to go very well, she is handling the nutrients very well wit only a very little tip burn. I increased the light a little bit, as I felt that some of the main colas on the side didn't get enough light. Next week I will probably be able to show the little veg-box I built, since the cuttings are slowly outgrowing their current home.

12/26/2022: gave both plants 1 liter of water with ThermX-70 and some mosquito bit tea again. Have I mentioned how much I hate fungas gnats. I've been so happy with my switch to organics, except for these damn gnats. This should be the final week. Plants are fading hard, and tricomes are starting to amber. 12/28/2022: watered about 1 liter each with ThermX-70 and some mosquito bit and neem cake tea. Also threw some mosquito bits and neem cake directly into the soil to see if that helps at all. 12/30/2022: not much new to report. Watered again, 1 liter for each plant with ThermX-70. Both plants continue to swell and ripen. Between 5% to 10% amber. Was originally planning to chop at the end of this week, but I'm thinking I may give them one more week. We'll see how they look in a couple days. 1/1/2023: moistened the top soil with some plain ph'ed water.

Good growing week, updates in the video. Audio is a bit shit at the start but does get better. Didn't mention in the vid but I did give them a small defoliation a few days ago, just leaves impeding undergrowth and nothing crazy, 2 or 3 of each plant

Day 22: Drain EC 3 feet high and risin'😅( average 3.3 to be exact...) dunno how much whatever-salt is building up in that pots, but it obviuosly doesn't bother the ladies. Dark green colour, very few 'claws', no signs of tipp-burn, new foliage appears in a juicy green and turns dark in an instant, leafs point upwards....... looks like they're happy😊. Planns for this week: - Install the scrog-net - Obsereve plants/soil ( when do i have to feed nutrients again?) otherwise there will be no changes...... Thoughts: These bushy babies will be kind of a challlenge to create this scrog the way i'm used to (basically bending the 4 main main colas to the corners of the tent, upper branches to the walls and spaces between the pants, lower branches to the very center). Now these ladies make so many branches, so close togehter and so equal in length, underneath huge fanleafs..... i'd love to have them in a 100 square meter canna-crib....but in a tent...????? I really hate doin' things without having them planned - but in this case i guess i will have to install the net, start weaving and see what's happening😯 Day 23 Let's keep it positive...... indoor-climate of 64% rh is perfect for my health💪😁!!! ......but in my tent it's killing the vpd😖. at a lousy 24 degrees C, i'm readin' about 60-64 % rh wich results in about 0.7 to 0.8 kPa.* More figures? Here come the crazyones👻!: pH 5.5; EC 4.2😨 but thats only drain from plant 3....... average was 6.1/3.6 The girls busy produce roots, shoots and leafs....... still very green, still not unhealthy.......few claws, no tipp-burn. Basically a comfortable place to be: It's not bad yet - no work but watering - and it can only get better!!!😁 *VPD issue solved: The sensor hung too close to a fanleaf - didn‘t expect this thing beeing so sensitive 😅. Day 24 Climbed new hights this morning: Plant 1 had an EC of 3.8 - the others didn't climb any higher than yesterday. So maybe we've reached the climax..... 😇 Visible growth now - so i installed the scrog-net and will start bending and weaving these days:-) Thoughts: Did beeing out of VPD-range for one day harm my plants? How exact can my sensor measure VPD? after a bit of research i found out: Whatever you buy for less than 200 bucks is far from beeing exact! Even professional sensors have a margin of about +/- 1% in relative humidity. Thermometers at least +/- 0.5 degrees C. This could give some a good guess of the actual VPD BUT: Leaf-temperature-offset is absolute key! Many of our trusted homegrow-equippment isn't even able to measure it (some offer default temp-offset) ....don't wanna go further here - but there's no way to achieve something like a precise VPD-measurement in homegrowing. So why caring for VPD? Even with those less accurate instruments, you may be able to keep your plants in something like a comfort-zone. Way better than only guessing 👆!!! In case i ran a much higher VPD than planned, yesterday (due to a missplaced sensor) , it will not harm or kill my plants. they might have had a bit of stress from dry air - but nothing to worry about! Day 24: Decreasing salt-levels in the drain - excepting plant 4, wich had an EC of 4.0 - so i guess i'm slowly draining exess-salts from top to bottom and might have collected some build-up. The girls seem to be quite okay. Root-growth is vigorous (there are thick, white roots penetrating through the pots, everywhere), the stems are relatively thin. removed the LST-lines. the Sc.r.o.g: only materiels needed, were a climbing-net for gardening (HDPE) cut to 90x90 for my 1x1 tent, 4 cable-ties and 2 meters of strong rubber-cord. Pre-installed the net with the cable-ties, then weaved the cord around the outter cords of the net, led it aroud the posts and pulled tight. Then brought the net into it's final position. Not as sturdy as with a wooden frame - but i had less than half the work and a bit of freedom to move things if necessary. Any shoot will now be put to the next outter square (relative to the center of each plant) as soon as can be held by the net, without harming the top. Once i moved all of the dominant colas to the next square, i'll have to take 10-15cm steps (vertical growth), to reach the next square. As soon as i have about 70 of my 81 squares filled, i'm going to flip to 12/12. Since i'm plannin' to have them full of sugar when flippin', i don't expect too much of a stretch. This way i hopefully have the longest and strongest shoots framing the shorter ones in the center - so the canopy shapes like a bowl, in order to achieve the most even light distribution possible. Day 25: The main colas visibly reached out for the light - but yet i only moved 1 single shoot to the next square. Girls look good, EC is dropping slowly, climate fine. CU tomorrow👋 day 26: on Track... nothing to worry about...... STAY TUNED 👈!

Day 57 26/08/24 Monday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. No plagron products as noticed burning again. (I think I'll do a run using advanced. And Plagron. Just to see what's different. ) There all showing great progress!! Divine seeds - auto Overdose, the main bud is so compact and dominant it looks great! The rest are performing well, did a decent fanning of lower two fans that started to turn in colour. Apart from that left them to it ✌️💚 Day 59 28/08/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today, 400ml with little to no run off. Day. 61 30/08/24 Friday Another feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with Plagron products. Picture and videos coming tonight 🤯👀✌️💚 Day 63 01/09/24 Sunday (End of week) De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today with calmag. Notes on plant structures , bud structures, leaf density. - Auto critical orange punch - Xmas tree shape, main colar nice and thick. Side arms - doing with LST next time would provide more decent tops. Strong structure, big fans, but bud to leaf ratio is high! Compact ball shaped buds so far. - Orange Bud - she Climbs! Tall, Long structure, I would top this strain next time, with LST next time again she would provide alot more tops. She has an even leaf to bud ratio, but the buds look fire already and there only just forming! Getting hues of blue on calyxes. Taller buds. - Auto Melonade Runtz - Another Xmas tree shape, ideal for LST, main colar bud is impressive, she just wants to stack. Leaf to bud ratio is even again, bud the buds are forming tall, with pistils firing everywhere. - Auto Overdose Wow, compact short autoflower, with a powerful punch! She is dense!! Fanse are even, thick, and balanced. Leaf to bud, even. Bud formations - dense boulders already, like mini hedgehogs. I would definitely do a SOG with these 🤩

Day 76 - 29/11/23 OG Kush has a bit more of a fade after flushing 7 days ago. Bud sizes have not changed, but trichomes definitely have! More cloudy than clear this week! More amber head too!! I flushed her with an extra 2L of water on 27/11/23. Nice fade going on with all the leaves!! Im making sure all trichomes are nice and ready before the chop. until then, ill just be adding 2-300ml of water just to stop her from wilting. we're almost there!!!

Ok just finnished a blunt of this a out an hour ago, and I do not smoke blunts lol But it seems only right too do a real smoked reveiw , So the fbt7 has been dry now for about 2 weeks and in a jar and today was the day too take the first bud too try so I rolled a fat one " fat one in photos lol , So for me the flavour just isn't there yet and am hoping that will come after a cure , So I smoked this all too my self and qiukly , Within a few minutes I went white as a ghost as was twitching the the corner hehehe, This is very strong bud and I would go as far as saying it's probably the strongest bud I've had in years , I am what I would describe as a joker smoker , as I turn my bud into oils and do not smoke it , But any serious cannabis smoker will absolutely love this strain , Well done fast buds and thank you :)

This strain was easy to grow, she started flowering on the 5th week and reached maturity on the 13th week (8th week of flowering). I had 2 of these plants growing at the same time. White LSD#2 took on a reddish/burgundy tone which made it look completely different from#1 All in all it was really a easy grow.

Bueno, aquí están estas candy caramelo de Zambezaseeds, la verdad que esta genética me está gustando tienen bastante densidad y son algo chatas , los nudos están muy juntos y eso me gusta porque el cogollo compacta más a mi parecer. Sigo regulando las condiciones del ph en cada riego en 6,2 y actualmente no supera el 50% de humedad ni sube de 26 grados. Estando a finales de mayo not bad por las condiciones climáticas pensé que sería algo más complicado 🤷‍♂️. Gracias a Mars hydro y a Zambezaseeds por hacer posible estos proyectos. . Www.mars-hydro.com web: http://bit.ly/2uJAjgy ts600: http://bit.ly/3cnv0Ev code: an420 . Buenos humos fumetillas , las semanas que viene más y mejor 💪🖤.

Bueno , este es el segundo cultivo que realizó del la cepa "Waka" , el anterior lo tengo igualmente documentado en otro diario . en esta ocasión cultivamos los clones que habíamos recolectado del cultivo pasado , guardando los fenotipos que nos gustaron más y los clones restantes los pasamos a floración que fueron los que se le hizo seguimiento en este diario. El crecimiento fue bastante explosivo y reaccionaron muy bien a cada trasplante realizado . pude observar que los clones de cada fenotipo seleccionado se desarrolló con mucha similitud al de sus madres . El olor en vegetación es bastante discreto y en floración se pone un más intenso El desarrollo en floración fue explosivo generando bastante resina y se vieron muy hambientras . Al fumar se puede sentir un rico toque cítrico en las N° 4 se siente un fuerte sabor a limón en algunas flores mucho mas marcado que en otras, N° 3 y 13 un agradable toque a naranjas muy rico de sentir en el paladar , La N° 8 con pizcas dulces bastante interesantes. El humo al fumar es muy suave lo que permite sentir mejor el sabor de cada fenotipo.- saludos y buenos humos😉 Al momento de cosechar se cortaron los clone y se dejo secando en oscuridad a temperatura ambiente por cerca de 16 días posterior a eso se pasó a curar en frascos
