So instead of chopping and losing anywhere from 4-8 ounces, I decided to just let them do their thing outside. I know it’s controversial to have a male outside and even more controversial to have a hermed female outside, but fuck it. I haven’t seen huge pollen deposits on leaves, and only a few open sacs, close to dropping. I pick em off if I see them. I am using small doseds of Lost Coast Plant Therapy for my IPM. It’s an all natural, “minimal risk” pesticide made using soap, soybean oil, peppermint oil, 70% iso alcohol, Sodium Citrate, Citric Acid, and water. Smells super good, does leave a slight film on the leaves because of the soap but does easily come off. I’m planning on doing 2 rounds of budwashing. Budwashing consists of: 5% hydrogen peroxide lemon juice Baking soda Water 3 five gal buckets. Fill one bucket with water and the ingredients, and then the last 2 with just water. Swish the plant matter in the first solution for 30-45 seconds, and rinse in the second two buckets of water, 20 for the first bucket and 30 for the second. Then take plant material and hang dry with a fan pointed directly on the hanging material for 2 days, and then resume normal drying conditions. Should leave no taste or residue behind and have no effect on terps or potency. I will update around august 4th-10th with finished bud pictures and the hanging plants. ALSO PICTURED: my 4 plant Webber grill turned grow container. Will show them off more once they start getting decent buds on them. Shown are: 2 Black Cherry Truffle X 41gs females, and in the 2 tin cans on top of grills soil is Slammer Skunk and Ego Death (both regs) from Terp_fi3nd. Will be watching those for males. Hoping they’re both female. All have been outside since like week 3 of sprouting them. The stalk picture is one of the Black Cherry Truffle X 41gs. Will post updates soon. Thanks for reading.

Day 36: "Hey everyone! Just a quick update: I removed a few more leaves here and there and did one last round of LST (low stress training). 🌿 The plants are looking great, and I'm going to let them recover now before sending them into the flowering stage. I'm really excited to see them start blooming in 2-3 weeks! Also, a quick update on our temperature issue: today, the temperature stayed below 26.8°C, which is great news! However, we still need to find a solution to keep the humidity levels up. Our 360 m³/h exhaust system isn't able to maintain the required humidity level. I've calculated that we need a humidifier that can evaporate 1800ml/h to maintain 60-70% humidity, which would help manage the temperature better. Does anyone have tips for a good humidifier or other methods to control the humidity and temperature? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Day 37: Hey everyone! Tomorrow, we're planning to buy some Cal-Mag because we suspect the yellowing leaves might be due to a calcium-magnesium deficiency. We're also going to get a pH test kit to make sure everything is balanced properly. Do you think this is a good idea? Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Day 38: Hey everyone! Quick update: it turns out the yellowing leaves were due to a nitrogen deficiency. We increased the fertilizer dosage today, so the plants should start looking better in 4 to 5 days. 🌿 Thanks for all the support and suggestions Day 39: Hey everyone! Another quick update: after increasing the fertilizer yesterday to address the nitrogen deficiency, it should take about 4 to 5 days for the yellow leaves to turn green again. 🌿 We're already seeing improvements! The plants have grown significantly and are developing a dense canopy once more. It's great to see them bouncing back so quickly! Day 41: "Hey everyone! Quick update: we've removed the bands we were using for LST (low stress training) and are now letting the plants grow freely. 🌿 We plan to keep them in the vegetative phase for about one more week before transitioning them to the flowering phase. Excited to see how they continue to develop!"

April 23 Fading leaves and turning purple. I'm making sure to do my due diligence in removing all dead leaves between the buds as they die, so that I'm not having dead leaves stuck in the bud as it dries. Trichomes aren't quite where I want them yet. The ones nearest the light are orange, but not much orange is anywhere else.

This time the plant grew up pretty big buds but in the last 2 weeks the climate turned to summer so my plant was under heat stress and showed signs of herma but nonetheless it is a very wonderful plant.

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** If you like this week, please hit a like, it costs you nothing! 👊. Thanks in advance 😉! From/Desde: 26/08/19 || To/Hasta: 01/09/19 From day/Desde día: 35 || To day/Hasta día: 41 -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- V1 - It's awesome how she covered all the available space inside the tent, I'm loving this plant and it's totally equitative grow. P1 ~ P5 - I designed this mobile support structure with GoPro attachment system, it supports a mobile in one of the tent's vertical support bars while it records a full timelapse. If anyone has a 3d printer and feels lazy to design it just ask for it, I can send a blender file or an STL, Cheers!. P7 & P8: First night shoots, this was a quick test with the new acquired lights just opened. P16: Second night shoot test, just a bit better than the first try. P20: As you can see the horizontal branches are too slim, I started this week with Rhino Skin support to see if it helps, but what is going to really help is time I guess. P21 ~P27: At last some decent shots, I need to improve the illumination and the way I use the lights, but well... I'm a beginner and have a lot to learn. P28: My nutrients fridge (last year she stands at 15ºc, but this year she's only able to reach 17ºc), and also the foliar products that I'm going to apply. P29: Those are 4 different Temp and Matt settings for the photo P24, it would be great if you leave a comment telling which of them you like more (visually speaking). That would help me a lot!. P30: Smoked some Spliff Dutch Auto at night and feel a bit creative, that's what came up of photoshop and P26 & P27 photos ;). -----WEEK SUMMARY----- I don't know if this is normal in a growing stage, but Alice K. has started to lovely stink all my home, it's awesome how she's smelling without any flower or pistil on her. I can't imagine how much is she going to smell. Finally I bought some lights and a background system to learn to make dark background photos, I purchased a normal bg system @amazon with 3 x 2x3 m backgrounds and the support system, it's too big for my living room haha!, also purchased a pair of LumeCubes with all the accessories, they are super versatile lights and awesome for my needings, I'm sure that there are similar performance lights even equal, much much more cheap, but I liked these for various reasons, if anyone is interested just ask me. Along the week I didn't have much time to full test the lights, I was only able to perform some quick tests. Along the weekend I expent some more time, and something is begin to came out of my camera ;). As you can see on timelapse video, at the end of the week the plant is already fixed to the final 12 points as I told last week, and is already covering all the horizontal space available in the tent. At time I'm not going to make more prunes or toppings as I like the structure she's getting. I still feel that the horizontal branches that are going to support the plant are too slim, so I'm planning some more weeks of growing, until I see them enough strong to support themselves. This was a terrible mess. Until this week I've been watering with very high PH without knowing it. The PH meter I was using was not well calibrated and I thought so, before yesterday (Week 7) I recovered my PH tester and when I measured I was impressed because I have been watering at PH 7 ~ 8, while I thought I was using PH 5.8. Luckily, things have not going ugly, 💯 for the AK. About temperature and humidity, this is the last week of imbalance in my cultivation system since it is strongly linked to outside. As September enters, immediately the temperature and humidity stabilize itself inside my tents, so it's time to run the 90x90 one ;). This week I also applied a foliar irrigation with a bit of organic insecticide "Tec-Forte", just for prevention. I killed a white Spider 2 or 3 weeks ago and also observed som insect white spots in one leaf, after that I did 2 foliar irrigations along last weeks with B.A.C. "Plant Vitality Plus", "Foliar Spray" & "Pro Active", and I haven't seen any more sign. So this is going to be my last foliar with that extra preventive, to keep things clean of unwanted life. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 28/08/19 (Day 37) - 3,000 ml with all week nutrients @ 1 E.C. PH5.8 *****ESPAÑOL***** Por favor, si te gusta esta semana dale un like, no te cuesta nada 👊. ¡Gracias por adelantado 😉! -----IMÁGENES & VÍDEOS----- V1 - Es increíble como va cubriendo todo el espacio horizontal disponible en el armario, me estoy enamorando de esta planta y de lo equilibrada que crece. P1 ~ P5 - Este diseñado este soporte de móvil con acople tipo GoPro, aguanta un móvil en una de las barras del armario mientras este graba un vídeo timelapse de varios días, horas o lo que sea. Si alguien tiene una impresora 3D y se siente vago para diseñarlo que me pida el modelo, lo puedo enviar en un archivo de Blender o en formato STL. P7 & P8: Primera prueba nocturna, probando las luces recién abiertas. P16: Segunda prueba nocturna, un poquito mejor que la primera prueba. P20: Como se puede observar las ramas horizontales son demasiado delgadas, esta semana empezaré a usar RhinoSkin a ver si ayuda, pero lo que va a ayudar es el tiempo me temo. P21 ~P27: Al final algunas capturas decentes, tengo que mejorar la manera en la que ilumino y uso las luces, pero bueno de momento soy un novato. Ya iremos aprendiendo. P28: Mi nevera de nutrientes ;) (el año pasado mantenía los 15º constantes, pero este año sólo está siendo capaz de bajar hasta 17ºc), también los nutrientes y productos foliares que voy a aplicar. P29: Eso son 4 ajustes diferentes de temperatura y mate de la foto 24, sería genial si me dejáis un comentario diciendo cual os gusta más (visualmente hablando). ¡Eso me ayudaría un montón!. P30: Me fumé un porrito de Spliff Dutch Auto por la noche y me dio la tontería ajajjajajajjaja. Eso es lo que salió de photoshop y las fotos P26 y P27 -----SMUARIO SEMANAL----- No sé si es normal durante el crecimiento, pero Alice K. ha empezado a oler por todo mi piso, es increíble como huele sin tener aún ni una flor ni un pistilo. No puedo ni imaginarme lo que va a acabar oliendo. Al fin esta semana me he decidido a comprar unas luces y un fondo para aprender a hacer fotos con fondo negro, el fondo he comprado uno normalito de 2 x 3 m, aunque me queda muy grande en el salón de casa, de luces me he comprado una pareja de lumecubes con los accesorios, son una luces super versátiles y excelentes para mis necesidades, seguro que hay cosas de rendimiento parecido o igual y mucho más baratas, pero a mi me gustaron estas por varios motivos. Si alguien está interesado que me pregunte. Durante la semana no tuve mucho tiempo y sólo pude realizar unas pruebas cortas. El fin de semana me puse un poco más a fondo y ya empieza a salir algo decente ;). Como se ve en el vídeo semanal, al final de semana ya he atado la planta a los tres puntos que comenté la semana pasada y ya está cubriendo todo el espacio horizontal disponible en el armario, por el momento ya he acabado los cortes y las podas, no tengo planeado realizar más a no ser que lo vea necesario. Sigo teniendo la impresión de que las ramas son quizás un poco delgadas aún por lo que planeo unas cuantas semanas de crecimiento más, hasta que engorden y las vea capaces de hacer buenas colas y resistir su peso. Hasta esta semana he estado regando con el PH alto sin saberlo. El medidor de PH que usaba no estaba bien calibrado y yo creía que sí, antes de ayer (Semana 7) recuperé el mío y al medir me quedé impresionado pues he estado regando a PH 7~8, mientras yo creía estar usando PH 5.8. Menos mal que las cosas no se me han puesto feas. Con respecto a la temperatura y humedad esta es la última semana de desequilibrio en mi sistema de cultivo ya que está fuertemente ligado al exterior, ya entra Septiembre y enseguida se estabilizan la temperatura y humedad solas. Esta semana también apliqué un riego foliar con un poco de insecticida orgánico "Tec-Forte", solo por prevención. Maté a una araña blanca hace 2 o 3 semanas y también observé algunas manchas blancas de insectos en una hoja, después hice un par de riegos foliares durante las últimas semanas con B.A.C. "Plant Vitality Plus", "Foliar Spray" y "Pro Active", y no he visto ninguna señal más. Así que este será mi último foliar con ese preventivo adicional, para mantener las cosas limpias de vida no deseada. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 28/08/19 (Día 37) - 3.000 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 1 E.C. PH5.8

Well we started flushing the day after we updated the last diary, so it is our end week for our first grow and I must say, it's been a roller-coaster but we made it there in the end lmfao! Critical kush has been amazing to grow, she has stood strong throughout all the stress I've put her under with my learning mistakes and she has still turned out superb, I'm looking forward to smoking her if she smokes as good as she smells then ill be amazed! The smell she gives off is a fruity, sweet smell with a strong undertone, hard to explain but it gets my taste buds going! 6 hours later and hella sticky fingers... not my usual type lol... We have the girls down and trimmed, the wet weights are below from each plant and we have separated them in different tiers in the drying net so we can show an accurate wet and dry weight from each plant, intrigued to know how much we will loose once dry as the wet weight is a whopping 1,405g!! Plant one weighing in at 261g Plant 2 is weighing at 242g Plant 3 is weighing at 236g Plant 4 is weighing at 321g Plant 5 is weighing at 345g 51 ounce wet weight with slight stems. Will update harvest section next week once dry :) Happy growing!

Plantulas mostrando un buen enraizamiento. Se preparo una solucion de Elite 91 Myco Jordan iniciando la semana con: -PPM : 80 -pH : 5.8 3/7/2022 se transplanto a cubos de lana de roca de 15cm x 15cm. Los cubos fueron submergidos bajo una solucion de Mills Start R con: PPM : 100 pH: 5.7 En el transplante se uso Elite 91 Myco Jordan en forma de polvo para cubrir el hueco del cubo y cubrir las raizes de las plantulas para reducir el estres del transplante.

First defoliation this week, took off all the lower leaves as they weren't getting much light and there's plenty of green leaves around the buds, looks nice at the base now. I discovered that the ppm runoff was 3500 so I've been pouring the nutrients solution into the top by the litre and letting it drain back to my reservoir, I'm using the flowering res from my other grow, which is 1:2:2 and 1500ppm. She appeared to be growing really slowly with small buds, but I had a look at a two week old photo and I must have lost track of time, as she had only just begun to flower. Feels more like four weeks! So now I'm wondering what more she can do. Stay tuned this could be exciting. I'm excited anyway. Nothing like what I expected. Updated some more shots, I only now just realised that I can hold the plant upside down or at any angle under the lights to get the type of bud shots that are normally impossible.

Today 23/07/22 We are two days into week 5, never talked about nutrient or water’ problems I had some leaves with few yellow marks but very small one beside that I always saw my plants green and happy, here you can see the scrog I set up yesterday not sure if this will work better but I think will help the branches grow further from the others increasing the light they riceve! I made it myself I will order one for the next grown when I will get my grow box! The watermelon is already flowering but the northern light no so today I started feeding the plants with different preparations.. I kept on giving the grow booster with a bit of bloom booster and viceversa for the watermelon! If you have any tips anything you think I’m doing wrong or you see it’s not ok let me know I don’t grow in a box I grow between the curtains and my window so the environment wasn’t always the perfect one

So far so good. This is week 2 or 3of flowering and no issues so far. The fan leave are starting to thin out but I guess that Normal in the flowering stage. The only question I have in this stage is what should my humidity but for the flower stage ? I heard any where from 60-40?

Hey everyone at week 4 know and wow have these girls grown early this week I applied some LST and all took really well to say it was my first time trying this
