🌱 Week 16 Update (Veg) The girls are still in veg and looking stronger than ever 💪🌿🍃. Canopy is wide, lush, and filling in beautifully 🌳✨ with steady growth 📈. Thrip battle is almost won

April 26, 2024 Day 71 This week we focus on watering and nutrients. A secondary focus will be on a changing environment and light intensity changes. Both ladies had their reservoirs cleaned out and have fresh nutrients. It's also the start of late flower, so things will be changing with the nutrient dosage. I'll most likely keep the nutrients the same for this week, but I may start to drop the dosage a little for each watering until the flush period starts. So depending on how they look, I may change the dosage for this week's last watering. I'll be bringing it down 25%. So 8 ml goes down to 6 ml and 4 ml goes down to 3 ml. I'll change this for the next 2 weeks until it's just plain water for 2 waterings and then Flawless Finish. It should play out quite well. The lighting will also be changing a bit this week. I'll be dropping the DLI to 43 mol/m²/d mid week and will then lower it to 40 mol/m²/d beginning next week. I'll then drop it to 36 mol/m²/d the week after and finally 32 mol/m²/d for the final week. The environment will also be dropped from 77° to 75° during the day and from 68° to 65° at night. The humidity is solid at 47% and I think that's the best I can do for the rest of the grow. Both plants look great. They have tons of orange pistils and tons of trichomes. I'll be taking trichome pics every few days. One for each plant. I feel like it'll be a better comparison than daily pics. For the trichomes anyway. Anyway, they both still have time to swell their buds more. I'm not expecting big buds from these two. Medium sized maybe, but definitely not big. They just don't look like they will get that big. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 47.7% VPD: 1.49 kPa April 27, 2024 Almost all of the pistils are orange now on both plants, but the buds are still swelling. Interesting. I'll be taking trichome pics today at some point. I was going to yesterday, but got distracted with video games. Whoops. There's tons of trichomes. They are definitely frosty and continuing to get frostier. Nothing much to do today. Each plant got an inspection and passed with flying colors. There were some loose tie downs as well. Mostly from the crowding in the tent. So those got removed. Tropicana Cookies is looking super good now with her buds being everywhere and them swelling up finally. She could stand to get a few leaves taken off, but I'd rather just leave it alone now. No sense in undue stress. Tropicana C also looks great. She has to be the biggest of the two. Not the tallest, but definitely the most girthy. Lots of buds and also starting to finally swell up. I'd also like to mention the colors coming from both plants where the buds are nearly done. Lots of purple hues. You can't really see them from the small sugar leaves and frost covering it. But it's there. The lighting as I said will stay the same for the first half of this week. Then I'll drop it. However, I may leave it to next week. We shall see. The environment is looking pretty good. The temp is a bit high currently at 77.8°. the humidity is still at 47%, but I managed to get it down to 44% for most of yesterday afternoon. The DLI is a bit high today at 1.66 kPa. Nothing a small adjustment won't fix. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.5° RH: 45.7% VPD: 1.55 kPa April 28, 2024 Not a lot going on today. I'll be refilling the reservoirs later this afternoon. That's about it. I have a bit of a concern. Both ladies have really small buds, and I think they may have stopped swelling. I'm wondering if I have nutrient lockout or something. They are showing signs of stress. So I've already started dropping the nutrients down by cutting Overdrive in half as it seemed to have been the original cause of the nutrient burn. And the next watering will have all nutrients cut in half. Next week I'll drop it to 25% and leave it til flush, which may be next week anyway. We shall see. Other than that, both plants are covered in trichomes. They smell wonderful as well. Like orange and some other light citrus and gas. Smells super good as well as sweet. There is also a hint of cookies. The DLI will be dropped to 40 mol/m²/d tomorrow. I'm assuming it will only be a 10% drop on power, so I shouldn't lose much penetration. The environment is off today. It's warm and super humid with bouts of rain. So naturally, the tent environment is all wonky. The temp is at 75.5° with the humidity way up at 60%. I turned the AC on and now it's just a matter of tweaking and waiting. I may have to crank it and sacrifice some temp for lower humidity. It should be fine that way, but the humidity is definitely too high. Update: I ended up adding about a half gallon of plain water to both reservoirs. Just Incase I have nutrient lockout or something. They should go through that by tomorrow afternoon. Maybe late evening. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.6° RH: 52.8% VPD: 1.39 kPa April 29, 2024 No watering today. The plants are both still going through the half gallon of plain water from yesterday. Let's hope it clears up the nutrient burn. They look great with their trichome coverage. The only thing I'm pretty disappointed about is the size of the buds for both plants. I wonder what I did wrong. I'm guessing the introduction to Overdrive was about 2 weeks too early. Removing the Big Bud was also a major mistake I think. It should have stayed in the mix for 2 more weeks. Lesson learned, make adjustments to any feeding schedule to match the plants growth stage. Maybe I'll ask that question. The lighting was changed today. I dropped the power level down to 70% to get a DLI of 40 mol/m²/d. It's not perfect as the plants do not have level canopies, so some of the spots go all the way up to 45 mol/m²/d still. It's not a bad thing I think. The DLI was a bit high for those tops anyway. The environment is still wonky. The temp is fine at 76° to 77°. A bit high from what I want, but not out of range. I'd still like it down to 75° or 74°. The humidity is what's out of whack at 60% and it doesn't seem to want to drop. I have a heater on to clear out the room humidity and a dehumidifier in the tent working it's hardest. Which isn't very hard. I believe the fans are going on it. It may be time for another one. Something the same size but more powerful. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 59.8% VPD: 1.15 kPa April 30, 2024 Watering day. Both ladies got their full gallon of nutrients. I'm going to cut it when it drains down some with plain water. Both plants look good even though they have small buds. They are everywhere and seem pretty dense. So it's just a matter of time. Maybe another 2 weeks. Maybe less. Hopefully less. The nutrient burn was an issue, but now I think it's good. I dropped the Overdrive significantly, but I think I can plainly say, I have ruined my yield for these two plants. Lesson learned. Plain water at the first signs of stress. The scent is super strong now and smells like oranges and candy. Or something like that. All I know is that it smells great. The lighting is pretty good. No reaching yet, so it's definitely not too low. I may just leave it here for the rest of the grow. I read that lights don't need to be dimmed for autoflowers. It could be right. I've never dimmed the lights before. We shall see I guess. The environment is still wonky with the humidity being high still at 57%. I can control the temp pretty easily, but the humidity will not budge. I'll keep trying. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.5° RH: 57.0% VPD: 1.26 kPa May 1, 2024 Nothing to do today with these two. No watering needed, no light changes, nothing. I pulled them out, tooky pictures and checked them over. No issues pest or fungus or anything. The only issue I have is the nutrient burn. Some of the leaves are getting yellow spots on them and frankly I have no idea what to do here. Keep the nutrients the same? Cut the nutrients down some over the next week or 2? Go with plain water? Not too sure. I still see many stresses. And I think that is the cause of my tiny buds. It seems that I did take the Big Bud out too early and added the Overdrive way too soon. Oops. Lesson learned with this run. I don't think it's a matter of an over abundance of nutrients, but the wrong ones at the wrong time when the plants weren't ready for it. I'm guessing that's what has happened here. Both ladies smell fantastic. Super sweet and strong. Crisp, and not pungent. Refreshing even. Tropicana Cookies has some pretty hard buds and lots of them. Of course, larger buds are preferred, but as long as these come out fire, I'll be happy. Her branches also seem to be holding up nicely. Tropicana C on the other hand has weaker branches and the tallest top is starting to lean pretty heavily. A great sign for bud density. Both plants have phenomenal trichome production. It's getting better everyday. Tons of clear with a mix of cloudy and amber, definitely not ready yet, but soon I think. Very soon. Maybe another week and a half? Maybe 2. As I said before, I didn't change the lighting at all. It's current DLI is 40 mol/m²/d through most of the central canopy. The outside of the canopy is roughly 38 mol/m²/d. So it's all good now. The environment is still wonky with the humidity being at 59%. It's maddening. The room is 49% and the temp is fine at 75°. I'll sacrifice up to 77° if I can get the humidity around 50%. Not ideal for this stage in life, but it will have to do of I can even get it there. I do have a large dehumidifier, but it doesn't work right. When the compressor shuts off, it blows are that humid air right back into the room. I need a new one. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.2° RH: 56.1% VPD: 1.27 kPa May 2, 2024 Not a lot going on today. No watering, no trimming, nothing. I did change the light last night to 80% power. Tropicana Cookies looks great! She has purple coming out all over her buds. No fade yet though. I can assume that will be coming through in the next week or so. Her tops buds are getting slightly fatter and heavier than before. I hope it will continue to do so over the next 2 weeks. Tropicana C is slightly behind. She doesn't have nearly as many orange pistils and the purple is just starting to come through. However, she has tons of trichomes covering everything top to bottom. Her buds are about the same size as her sister, so they may end up swelling bigger than Tropicana Cookies when all is said and done. We shall see. As I said earlier in today's post, I changed the light power from 70% back up to 80%. I think I dropped it too early and need to adjust it accordingly. I'll drop it again in a week or so. Maybe less. Now the DLI is at 43 mol/m²/d inside and 40 mol/m²/d on the outside. The environment is still off, but not as much. The humidity continues to be high, but only at 55% verses the 60% it's been stuck at for the last few days. The temp is fine at 74.5°, but I think I can increase that a bit and hopefully drop the humidity down in turn. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.7° RH: 55.2% VPD: 1.24 kPa

The bulking phase is in full effect now, and as expected, the high heat and slightly stunted growth in the first two weeks are showing their consequences. All three plants are relatively bright and limey in color, with a few fan leaves even turning white. This is a clear sign of nitrogen depletion, but I also suspect it’s an absorption and transportation issue, since I’m fairly sure the root systems aren’t ideally developed. We’ll be able to check that in a couple of weeks when it’s time to harvest. That said, bud development is coming along nicely. The LST is showing its benefits, with buds developing relatively evenly across the canopy. However, the plant in the middle seems to be ahead in terms of maturation and growth. --- Quick rundown on everything else: Watering: 1500ml every third day Fertilizer: According to the BioBizz schedule Light intensity: ~1000 PPFD VPD: ~1.62 kPa Temperature: ~28°C Relative humidity: ~55%

Today 7/30/19, day 57 and the start of week 9. I'm still continuing to alternate between days with my pesticide treatment (especially after finding that bug living on one of hulkberries fan leaf) and thrive alive green daily foliage spray as a prophylactic solution against any possible pests or mold going into these last few dog days of veg. I will flush them with distilled ph'd water for two days this weekend in preparation for flower. Then I'll start them on some "flower fuel" bloom booster on top of my secret for success flower recipe at 1/4 of the recommended strength. Outside of that still no adverse issue to report for the end of the 8th week. After my last trim, they both have responded very nicely, I was kind of worried about fat banana stalled growth. But one thing I noticed when I topped her at the 6th node, yes the main stem stopped growing but it developed many bud sites up and down every stem. Whereas hulkberry was topped at the 8th node, she has mainly focused on developing long stems and only 2 or 3 bud sites along her stems. Even though hulkberry in structure, is much bigger than fat banana and has a way bigger root system. Fat banana is bushier and has developed way more bud sites than hulkberry. I can't tell which strain will yield the most at this point only time will tell! Also, a big shout out to "J"@RQS, thank you for the excellent customer service. Another reason why Royal Queen Seeds is top 3 in breeding!!

Ciao Bros e Sis! CIAO! : D Ok, let's see how these girls are... Royal AK - she seems like to be the queen of this grow. Strong, fast, and resistant. I will transplant her in a 11lt Airpot with coco, new thing for me! Candy Kush - she's fine, for real. Topped Special Kush #1 - Good, but she's a little "tiny", don't you think? Speedy Chile - well, she's growing fine, but had some kind of genetics problem, maybe... She's topped herself 😅 Ocean Gangster Kush - Nice, even if the colors are strange, and some leaf have wrinkles, let's see how she will grow. Coco also for her, in the future. Pink Doctor CBD - the oldest on is growing, but I don't get where she want to go, really! The other bean has popped, so let's hope in no problem for her UK Cheese auto - guys, she's really strong and fast! Developing preflowers at day 22 from pop! I want to leave all the questions aside and try some HST on this auto, I've never trained an auto before! That's all, for now. Come back for the next update, meanwhile stop and have a chat with me, mates! Ciao!

GHL STRAIN REVIEW!!!!!!! Shout out to @GreenHouseLab for sending me an amazing package! Return package on the way!!!! So stoked to have six shooter AND 2 fkn new untried cheeses to fuck with in 2021!! See vids

Day 15 - The start of week 3 and the girls are really taking off, from 1-2 Inches of vertical growth daily. Consuming a good amount of water, almost leaving the bucket empty. lol. Lightly defoliating to keep the bud sites exposed to light, as they get bushy very fast and recovery is only taking a day for them to bounce back. Pretty happy with how things are going right now. Slightly increased the EC by .2 but not enough to burn them.. which is the goal. Grateful for my trolmaster unit as it has made keeping tracking of my parameters much easier and effortless. Day 16- Topping up the res with RO water every two days. Otherwise I'm sure it would be empty! Pistils are showing and the bud sites are very visible. Seeing one pheno with slightly more sativa dominant traits. Luckily I took clones so I can run the best pheno next time around, although all these plants are special. Still going through the flower stretch. Excited for what is to come. Stay tuned for the results. Day 18 - As you can see, the difference is night and day over a period of 2 days they have had an explosion of growth. They were heavily defoliated on day 17 and bounced back within a day. Happy plants preying. Bud sites are forming everywhere now. Not much to report. Until the end of week 3 in a few days. Bring on week 4. Follow my Instagram and YouTube (link in bio)

Última settimana.lavaggio radici...2 giorni e 2 notti. E tagliooooooo........ . Ecco arrivato il momento del taglio😍😍😍 Eccoci arrivati al termine.oggi 30/09/3024 raccolta..forza belle mie, vedete sé anche in concia continuate a tirar fuori cannabinoidi 😂🤣😂🤣 portate il %di THC di queste runtz layer cake AD un livello mai visto prima.🤣😂🤣😂 E magari è più forte del normale...tra poco vi dirò com'è a livello di sballo e gusto.... Seguitemi e vedrete come finirà 😂🤣😜💪👍

So these girls have started to explode , they were one of the first ones to get into their new home , so they are LOVING life right now. The goal for this week : Attach all shoots to the tomato cage , - get them ready for flower 🌹🌹🌺!! I'm still working on getting a better set up for pictures, although they aren't in the best spot for pictures they are EXTREMELY happy with they lighting !!! position. Find these gorgeous genetics at: https://greenpointseeds.com/ Find all about the nutrients that fuel this grow So I was just putting a note in their that when I was doing the video the temperature the leaves were slightly wilted . This was just do to a temperature.

Week 9 - Week 9 And Plants Are Looking Fine - Plants are healthy and they have a very nice structure of branches. Looking forward to seeing the bud development.

Erste Blütewoche: Tag 55: Ich spreche quasi aus der Zukunft weil ich recht wenig Zeit hatte in den letzten drei Wochen…aber es wird wild 😝 wir sind aus dem Urlaub zurück und die Pflanzen waren gut 65cm groß, höchste Zeit für den 12/12 Switch! Und natürlich je 4l Wasser für jede Pflanze mit ph 6.2 und 1ml/l Calmag Agent. Ab jetzt heißt es erstmal die Pflanzen in Ruhe zu lassen und die Beleuchtung der Lampe auf 270w von oben und 40w von unten, um das Defizit von 6 Stunden auszugleichen und evtl den krassen Stretch zu reduzieren. Tag 56: heute 3l Wasser mit ph 6.1 und 0,5ml/l calmag agent (2von unten 1 von oben) Tag 57: heute 2l Wasser mit ph 6.2 von unten Tag 58: heute mal Ruhe 😊 Tag 59: 4l Wasser mit ph 6.2 und 0,5ml/l Calmag Agent (3 von unten 1 von oben) Tag 60: tote Blätter abgepult und weggesammelt Tag 61: 4l ph 6.1 von unten pro Pflanze Ende Blütewoche 1

This week went by good plant have some very good bud sites developing on them this strain has done very good and overall happy with the way they are growing

Blütetag 9 🌺 500m l Osmosewasser bei PH 6,3 mit Calmag, Bio-Heaven, Fish-Mix, Bio-Grow, Top-Max und Bio-Bloom. Blütetag 10 🌺 500m l Osmosewasser bei PH 6,3 mit Calmag, Bio-Heaven, Fish-Mix, Bio-Grow, Top-Max und Bio-Bloom. Blütetag 11 🌺 - Nährstoffmangel Bedingt durch das Gießen mit Osmosewasser zeigt sich ein möglicher Eisenmangel an den neuen Blättern. Daher 500m l Osmosewasser bei PH 6,3 mit 1ml ALG A MIC als auch die Blätter leicht besprüht. Die nächsten Tage wird sich zeigen, ob es den Bedarf des Mangels deckt. Blütetag 12 🌺 500m l Osmosewasser bei PH 6,1 mit 0,4ml Calmag und 0,7ml F06 Eisen (mineralischer Dünger) Blütetag 14 🌺 1,5 l Osmosewasser bei PH 6,1 mit 0,8ml Calmag und 0,7ml F06 Eisen (mineralischer Dünger) Sunlight Evo 3-60 60% 60cm Abstand (ca. 600 PPFD) 23-25 Grad Celsius bei 50-55% Luftfeuchtigkeit. VPD 0,8 - 1,0 kPa

26.12.2021 Everything is fine. Finally i have my lamps so now we waiting. The plants feel good. I make a lot of humidity. Happy growing guys

welcome to Day 36 22/1/21 and she is looking great nutes are still the same and I'm mostly happy with my autopot system. well that's all for this week so as always happy growing and keep you stick on the ice

At the end of week 4 the Dough boy feminised takes its shape. The growth of the plant has almost ceased only growing 3cm this week. The pistols are almost at full capacity and have filled the internodes at its peak exceptionally. Her leaves are beginning to dull with most of her energy being used up to swell the calyxes. She’s looking good and stands at approximately 65cm tall she will be fed as required.

ok guys so these are the last pics of her before harvest. after i took off the LST she just fell all over due to the weight of the buds and i use silica so these are some HEAVY buds! ok guys so for the smoke report sh seems to be a pretty balanced stone to her, im guessing 60/40-ish hybrid that i can smoke mid day and not get too tired from yet i do get relaxed toward the 2nd half of the high. i currently have another one growing now!
