Hello. This is the end of week 2 and the beginning of week 3 of flowering. It's a late spring here. Some torrential rains and strong winds this week with lots of clouds. I get the greenhouse all open for the sun shine and 1/2 hour later I'm shutting the door closing the windows and turning down the fans. 2 hours later I back out there opening up and turning the fans up again. I hope it stables down for July and August, but they will probably be stinking hot.😏 I think I've picked out the best male for seeds. It's sticky with the rub test and the smell lasts on the fingers for about 10 minutes or so. It's bushy rather than tall and stretchy. I need to make up some pollen socks that won't hold the pollen so I can shake it to get the pollen on the stigma's but will let some air transfer so the branch lives and starts to make seeds. I have a extra Pink Kush and a Nova OG clones that I'll start to flower and put them in a different greenhouse for starting and making seeds and pollen capture with the socks. I tested the Pink Kush for Powdery Mildew last year but I don't know about the Nova OG. I'll do some final pruning and trimming this week. And tie up some more branches. Keep grown straight. Chuck.

What an incredible journey this has been! From start to finish, these plants dazzled at every stage. The drying process was a bit of a marathon – 21 days of suspense. But now, they are absolutely perfect. They snapped off the stems with a satisfying crunch – straight into my rolling paper for, ahem, "quality control" purposes. I'm beyond excited to have 2 more seeds ready for the future. Though I won't be growing them in my next round, I can't wait to see what they'll do next time. These gorgeous ladies have rewarded me with a whopping 248 grams dry! I'm in absolute weed heaven. Now comes the hard part – keeping my hands off while they cure and reach their full potential. My trusty humidor will help make sure they become everything they're meant to be. Here's to a fantastic harvest and many more green adventures ahead! 🌿🎉

Been slack with the updates as we are busy buidling a new greenhouse. will make sure I take nice individual photos for harvest though.

Did a jump start tea, 3 feeds of cutting edge solutions. For past 4 weeks have Found one adult spider mite per week, and destroyed eggs on the leaf's bottom with the white spots. I have no clue where they came from never had them before. I live next to a river and it is spider season so the normal spiders have been hunting the mites just becasue they are attracted to the lights at night. I don't see the mites as a threat and I'm not going to spray for them I might try to make a ladybug farm if I see more.

The flowering stage lasted a total of 66 days, ending with harvest on April 11, 2024. Throughout this phase, we followed the most complete high nutrients program, ensuring consistent support for the plants. While most strains responded well, an old Red Sour and one Shogun showed signs of overfertilization, likely due to their sensitivity. In contrast, the Monster Seeds genetics stood out, performing excellently from the beginning of flowering to harvest — healthy, stable, and vigorous until the end.

Welcome to week 3 of flower for these fine ladies! As the stretching period comes to and end in about a week or so I'm excited to see the plant's develop their flowers. Some of the plants have already developed quited the frost for their age and as the cycle continues its just going to get more pronounced. Some of the plants are giving off a faint smell now mostly the Banana Smoothie smelling of cream and bananas so far. Overall I'm really pleased with what's going on so far and can't wait for further development of the flowers! Huge shout out to both Hidden Vault Genetics as well as @MarsHydroLED for all the work they put in to make growing a breeze Extra special shout out goes to all my followers and people who stop into the diary alike. Keep inspiring to grow! -The Projexx Day#15F Ladies continue their stretching, will be looking to remove some leaves to open the plants up soon. Day#16F Watered ladies 4L each at 550PPM. Things are moving along as the plants keep stretching like crazy Day#17F Ladies are producing more and more size on their cotton balls while stretching up and stacking hard. Day#18F Ladies are producing quite the frost levels for their age. Watered 4L each at 550PPM. Day#19F Pictures N/A. Plants continue to stretch and stack. Day#20F Ladies look like their slowing down on their stretch hopefully haha. Watered ladies 4L each at 550PPM. Day#21F The plants are still stretching abit while putting mass on their flowers slowly. Wont be long till we see some giant flowers covered in trichomes! Recap: Things went very well this week, some of the plants are starting to put out a smell and everyone's pumping trichomes like crazy! With about a week or so left on the stretching period I will be looking to place my secondary nets very very soon. I'm looking forward to seeing what the plants smell like and how they continue to develop their flowers!

Another week for this SOG of Auto's from our friends fastbuds, at the moment they are doing great, i do notice that some genetics required less food than others (they all got the same amount but some showed signs of N toxicity last weeks) At the moment we noticed the stretch and we needed to put the lamp higher, we are growing with a TS1000 at the moment and things are looking good 😊 The strawberry gorilla is getting a lot taller than the rest

12/4 : Most of them are getting out the soil. Pink Gasolines are the slowest to pop off. 💪 Had to manage the pot space in the dome so there's currently 2 seedlings per pot. 16/4 I have now moved all the plants into a bigger 120x60 tent. Also a friend loaned me an old 600w LED fixture (Horticoled XMAX6 V4) until i get my Migro Array 4 240w There's now a humidifier in the box and they are in bigger pots now 💪

Hi everyone ! 😀 Everything is ok, no disease, no carrency. but 2 ladies don't want to stretch a lot :/ ( the 2 on the corner, bottom left and Top right ) i don't know why. maybe it's the variety. i have 4 Skunk XL and 2 Critical. Maybe these 2 are the critical ( yes i lost them when i plant the seed 😩 ... ) No more pH fluctuation ( i love that ) EC is around 1.9/2.0 and increase to 2.1/2.2 when they drink a lot so i add water with 1.7 ec to decrease it to 1.9/2.0 again I added 30L of water since i changed the water ( 2 tanks * 20L / i change it the 11/05/18 ) so i'm gonna change the whole solution during the week. See you next week !

All going well, consuming a lot of water compared to my previous 2 grows, which I expect is a good sign. For my first grow I just used Blumat cones. This caused the roots to congregate on the cones and they subsequently got nutrient damage, the grow went okay but water consumption was low as blumats can only deliver 200ml per day and I only had 3 in place. For my 2nd grow I manually watered top down and consumption was around 1l in the mid to late stages. With the autopot used in this grow water usage is a lot higher. I've noted 2l a day but it's possibly higher as it's harder to measure. Perhaps it's purely the genetics but anecdotally it suggests I was under watering before. I very much recommend the autopots for the lazy gardener!

Defol and tied down she doubled in size , ran a flush . Keeping up the defol and spreading her out this week then another week of veg before flipping

Gorilla, gorilla, my problem child. The only one popping out of 5 but she is weaker than her roommates. She stays behind compared to them. But what can I do other than TLC, she has the best conditions, which are optimal in this grow room, also judging by the other two plants. Until I have a bigger operation, which in the current political climate, is not soon, where I can make mothers and clone them, breed my own strains, and root out runts like this, we do it like life. We play the hand as it is dealt to us and we love all our children the same... although this one is special. So not a genderfluid Silverback yet, but it ain't over till the voluptuous lady sings. We shall nurse this little runt until adulthood, who knows she might surprise us, she should have the mighty Gorilla Glue Number Fouh genes in there somewhere. Now come on out here and show daddy what you're made of... This week we spread out the leaves and branches, some leaf tucking and gentle LST, to prepare for some higher stress and super cropping today. Two days back we made the switch and set the lights to 12/12. Now the flowering stretch will begin, thus we bend the branches further outward in preparation for the canopy. When I do this I notice the branches are thick and sturdy, with no breakage at all unlike my previous grow, the gelato 33. I snapped some branches applying the super cropping and just normal bending with those. It seems like the fan (I didn't have a good option previous grow, hence the flimsier branches there) but also this lighting and soil regime are topnotch, asides from outdoor I haven't seen such lush bushiness yet, even on a more runt-like plant. This MarsHydro SP3000 is still performing great, such controlled temperatures, such an ocean of light. I only wish I started growing with this earlier. Thanks again @MarsHydroLED for trusting us to test your mighty flagship light. It is so well made, it oozes quality, I just want to touch it every time (also to check if it stays cool) and it is just sexy, slender, and compared to my other 300 watt light, a completely different spectrum and clarity. If you are looking for new lights, look no further. At www.mars-hydro.com they have excellent and unbeatable deals on tent and light combinations where you practically get a tent for free, it is ridiculous. I was afraid the light wouldn't cover the sides of my tent with my 4.5-foot space. Penny at MarsHydro had to laugh at this a bit, said not to worry. What an understatement. This light could signal to other galaxies. I sincerely recommend good sunglasses with this light. Only thing I'm adding is an infrared light Sunshine found. With this I'm going to simulate sunrise and sunset and try to prevent stress by easing the light in and out, like in nature. We are in flowering now, very excited to see what she will do here. What can she perform? Will she cover the net? Will she deliver gorgeous buds, like she is known to do? On these cliffhangers I hope you will tune in next week for more gorilla-related plantporn... go on... you know you want it. Hug Bud!!

Hey folks, we're doing well, we're growing big sticky bumps.

2 more weeks for the autos at most, day F11 for the rest of the room. Excellent results thus far, some of the daughters are outgrowing the 7 week older mothers. Lights have been raised a bit to accommodate stretch, and feeding has been adjusted to bloom nutes at 1800ec. Thanks for looking, keep an eye out for harvest

I changed the lamps to 100w full spectrum 💪😍

she is moving so fast that i think next week will provably b the last one lets see, for now all i do is water and remove dry leafs , observe them trichomes and that's it, nothing else to do but enjoy my self looking at her. Her color is full on finish and dnt think she will show any new ones, non so ever we can see reds, pinks purples, greens and a bunch more , smell do not at all, cant smell her, mb the rest is absorbing her smell but for now she is the one i grew with lest smell so far ... great for the ones that need discretion not feeding at all anymore just plain water not even ph no idea should be around 7 .0 or something, its rain water <3 <3 <3 As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love you guys put in the community, in to growing and it all, i am blessed to walk among all of you and am blessed with it all.

Last and finally feed before I haverst her. Can not wait to see how the dry and cure goes. Peace

Sguimos avanzando con la papaya zoap! Tiene muy buena pinta y está muy sana,a pasado unas semanas de calor de incluso recibir tres riegos durante el día es increíble el viento tan seco que pasa por aquí. Veremos que tal se va tornando en olores colores y formas! Será algo diferente dentro de las sativas que es mi punto!

I harvested 2 apple fritters by RQS and a Durban Thai XC99 by Brothers Grimm. Huge colas, very tight and frosty. Looking forward to trying in a few weeks. These were the biggest yielders out of the run, and I anticipate around 8 zips off each of these. I'll update after they're dried and cured. Thanks for stopping by, stay safe, Merry Christmas and Blaze on!

This week I ll water with just rain water for a couple of times. Maybe I ll give it another week of feed after but not sure yet. It will depend of how they go. Smell is really intense. Special Lime Haze smells herbal and cheese.
