Because of how early I topped her, the base was very dense with foliage so I did some defoliation. You can see the four main branches (2 of which were topped) and the central FIM with its supercropping scars in the 4th pic. Still running a 1000w MH bulb at 50%. Looking at getting a SMLED/COB LED combo light to replace my cool tube and associated fans and ducting. Water level was down to 50%. I'll have to start topping up. July 04 I rearranged my setup a bit while switching the MH bulb for the HPS. I think next run I'm going to grow 2 autoflowers and stagger them and try to run a perpetual harvest. I'm going to try to stick with the HID lights if I can manage the heat effectively. It was working well when I had the 6" cooltube and the 4" carbon filter exhausting out the window, but now that the smell is more intense, I don't want any air going out except through the carbon filter. I've thought about running filter-->fan-->cooltube-->outside but they're different sizes so it would lose efficiency. I've also thought about running clean air from outside the tent through the cooltube and then outside as it was intended, but I just don't think that's going to work with the space. July 05 I noticed shiny spots on the leaves which seems to indicate I have thrips. I can't see any actual larvae even with my glasses on, but the sucked out spots are fairly distinctive and I can see small black particles that must be excrement. Temperature seems pretty good in there and humidity is ok at about 45%. I have some peppermint Dr Bronner's castile soap so I made a foliar spray of insecticidal soap by just pouring a few drops into a big spray bottle. Just worried about when to spray so I don't burn the plant. Just checked the reservoir and temp is 26c, PPM 860, Ph 6.5. I'm going to add plain water and try to bring the Ph back down to 5.5. It's possible that what I'm seeing is due to the Ph being too high. I'm going to start checking the Ph at least every couple days. It's annoying to unclip all the training wires every time I open the reservoir. It's also not very convenient to fill it. It's at an awkward height. I like the 5 gallon bucket because it was easy to set up and understand but I might be better off with a different type of reservoir. 3:45pm I just sprayed the underside of one section of leaves, I'll see how that section does under the lights. My concern is that if I spray under the lights, it will burn, but if I spray at night, it could cause mold. Hopefully I can get away with spraying all the leaves once or twice a week and it will go away. July 06 She looks ok but I'm thinking it might be a Ph issue. Ph was 6.2 so I decided to just pitch the water and start again. I changed my method so I'm mixing the nutrients in the actual bucket the plant lives in and testing it there, instead of mixing in another bucket and pouring it into the DWC. Ph is now 5.7 and PPM 700. July 08 just noticed that RH is 70% when the lights come on. I feel like I'm going to need a solution for overnight humidity. Maybe dry rid bags. Rh is 60% after a couple hours. Leaf, solution, and substrate temp down to 24 which is nice. Ph is back up to 6.3 again! I pH downed some tap water to 4 and added that to the reservoir. July 09 Pistils just started coming out :) The Ph is still back up to 6.3 again but PPM is 750. I'm going to change the res again and lower the nutrient content a bit.

Weekly update on these lovely ladies. This week has been fun to watch the flowers form and swell. They definitely are starting to smell, as soon as you open the tent it hits you like a ton of bricks. I'll be doing my final dedoliation this week taking off some of the bigger fan leafs allowing more light to the lower flower sites. All in all Happy Growing

Growing bushy! She was topped for the 2nd time and received a canopy ring. I'm building the manifold and planning to reach 8 main colas in a few weeks. Thanks for stopping-by! 😎

I poured a whole bucket of 1000ppm trough the coco yesterday as long she goes under 800ppm runoff from her normal feeding. Shes massive under these bars, thats a spiderfarmer SE5000 (480watt)

to mutch cold here 2 week with low temps at night cicle betwen 12 &16 graus in europe. maybe this is the reason of that purple orange colors (:

Finally flower. They are 4 feet now. What am I going to do? I don't want them to burn into the light.

Week is going good aside from me accidently cutting off a stem on pheno 2. If I can properly save the cutting though I might have a chance at another female. Pheno 3 I'm hoping can make some comeback as I really want to flower the plant, its not dead by any means but the way its growing I just cant see it allowing itself to flower the top leaves were barely growing so I topped. Hopefully positive changes within the next week.

On this day beautiful Sunday I hope you all are doing amazing! Its Day 64 for Buddy, you can see from the Pics she's going crazy now 😌 This week the buds started taking shape 🥦, I'm not really sure but I think she's done with her stretch and started putting the focus on the good stuff. Maybe she'll be done with it this week we'll see. In the meantime, some Pistils started turning orange but I know she still has a few weeks to go. We'll see with how she develops, imma start getting my loupe ready 🔎 👀 I added Advance Nutrients Overdrive to the feed 🔥 I'm happy with SeedStockers, I'm thinking of running more phenos from them in the coming months 💐👌🏾 Time to change my Co2 packs and mess with the humidity. I read 40 to 60 % humidity is advised during flowering but I think it's all about keeping the humidity below 70 especially if you live somewhere hot like me. That includes keeping your growth area super clean and avoid watering when not needed too 👍🏾 I decided to never hit 40 because the dehumidifier it self produces heat + the Ligth's heat that all adds up to 40°C real quick. I almost had a heart attack when I read that on my temperature monitor 😂 We humans don't function properly at such temperatures and I'm sure as hell these plants won't either Take care Y'all and I just wish to say I'm really grateful to grow in these times. I live in one of the nations still on lockdown, it's been going on for months now so yeah Peace ✌️🏾

Starting to see some purple shades

Developed a smell like black jack sweets .Had small issue with nitrogen overdose appt from that we are on a good track and growing nicely.check out the full grow on youtube @ Northern Grows UK .significant amount of swell on bud sites this week seeing us up the feeds to include pk13/14. All seems to be on track for us to hit our harvest date . Caylix development on the acid dough is crazy too

42 days!!!! the girl looks very good :) she is already blooming :) the girl drinks every other day with 6.3 ph water and biobizz nutrients, next week I will give her more than 1000ppm :) she must like it :) so far very nice growth @FastBuds as always never ceases to amaze :) good luck to everyone.

Hello! The girls are in bloom as well, used to spray a little bit CannaBioGen Delta 9, and thinking about a little bit defoliation to give more light for the buds, no a lot of place and looks like the leafs covering a lot of buds, but not sure. Also according to the @DinafemSeeds webpage the California Hash Plant and Critical+ has the same flowering time (45-50 days), but, it looks like a mistake or i don't know, but it seems like California Hash Plant has longer flowering time than Critical+, as you can see on the pictures and video.. Maybe @DinafemSeeds could clarify this for me as well too :) Thanks for following me and have a good grow and no stress to all you guys!!

Everything seems to be going great. The buds are developing nicely and there are no signs that plants are stressed at all. I hope they continue to fatten up over the next few weeks for a good harvest!

The stretch of this strain is impressive (×3 / ×4) 💪

My Strawberry Gorilla plant is coming along, though it's a bit more delicate than my Gorilla Cookies. It's still showing some nice growth under the lights, but it's definitely a bit more sensitive. I'm keeping a close eye on it, and I'm hopeful that it'll start to thrive soon. I'm starting to get a faint whiff of that sweet, fruity aroma, so I know there's potential there! This past week has been a whirlwind of work, leaving little time for anything else. My phone's camera roll is sadly neglected, with only a few snapshots to show for it. But finally, I'm finding a moment to catch up on my grow diaries. It's been exciting to see the progress, even if it's just through photos. I'm looking forward to documenting the next stage!

Week 5 Day 29 Performed extra LST and fed her 7.5ml/1gal of floranova bloom to start flowering season!! Day 30 Spent the whole morning outdoors until 2.00pm Day 31 Plan on to make Scrog soon for the ladies, in the meantime we continue their sun and light schedule 19/5 lately Day 32 Gave her some water early morning and took her outdoors until 3pm Showed her first white hairs We were wondering when And omg here we go! Day 33 Fed her extra 5ml (flora Nova bloom) Raise from 1300 to 1450ppm Day 34 Those nutes are doing her very well Woke up like this! Day 35 Showing more tiny hairs all around Day 36 Developing more leaves and hairs to start making Buds full of Trichomes :)!
