Critical Orange Punch has closed the vegetative phase with a robust and compact development. It has a less marked stretch than Skywalker, with a stockier and denser structure. The branches were completely distributed under a 120x120 SCROG net, with controlled defoliation 48 hours before the switch. 📊 Current conditions: EC solution: 1.35 mS/cm pH: 6.3 Evening temperature: 19.8°C 💧 Fertilization (identical to Skywalker): Regular integration with Cal-Mag and B-52 to support structure and management of transition stress. 🧠 Observations: Excellent vegetative-productive balance. Uniform absorption, with regular drainage. The leaves have turgidity and good transpiration. The plant benefited from a radical treatment based on Sensizym and Voodoo in the previous phase. 🔧 Goal: to intensify the assimilation of sugars and improve the elasticity of cell fibers for the future load of buds. Rhino Skin was introduced early.

Back with a new week, the beginning of week 6 and wow, the girls are really starting to show off their fall colours and frosty colourful buds. EC has been slightly lowered and I have dropped cal-mag to ensure a good flush later on in the grow. PK has been increased and the girls are fattening up. pH has been drifting so trying to keep a close eye on this to enable the correct uptake of essential nutrients at this critical stage. Follow the youtube and Instagram for a more in depth follow along. Links are on growdiaries profile page. Stay tuned for the next update

SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY This has been explosive in growth, both plants have put on some impressive growth. I feel the light being only 100w has contributed to some of the extra stretching between the nodes and this would not have happened under brighter settings. Added in some bokashi grain to the medium to help breakdown anything that maybe unavailable to the plants. everything is on course for success. It should be time for a top dressing of Acti-Sol in the next week., might use up whats left of my Gaia Green U•CANN line up as well. SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY Big shout out to @SpiderFarmer for supplying the 2x2x5 Grow tent and The SF1000 100w LED light. I will be uploading all relevant photos of the products in the next week when they arrive, maybe do a little unboxing video. Who knows. A 2nd big shout out to Dr.Seeds for supplying the 3x5pac of seeds I will only be featuring two of the three strains in two separate diaries. You the users will get to decide what ones I grow. I have setup a Grow Question on each diary to vote for your strain of choice for that diary. https://growdiaries.com/grow-questions/47600-drseeds-1-vote-what-i-grow "Diary #1" https://growdiaries.com/grow-questions/47600-drseeds-1-vote-what-i-grow "Diary #2" Cast your vote for each diary. Thought I would add in the relevant links if you wanted to read up on any of the products that will be officially featured in this grow. https://www.spider-farmer.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/spider-farmer (+) https://www.spider-farmer.com/products/sf-1000-led-grow-light/ https://growdiaries.com/grow-tents/spider-farmer (+) https://www.spider-farmer.com/products/sf-2-x2-indoor-grow-tent-hydroponic-home-plant-reflective-aluminum-oxford-cloth/ https://drseeds.net/ https://growdiaries.com/seedbank/dr-seeds (+) https://drseeds.net/product/granddaddy-purple-autoflowering-cannabis-seeds/ (+) https://growdiaries.com/seedbank/dr-seeds/granddaddy-purple [Photoperiod not Autoflowering] https://drseeds.net/product/60-day-wonder-autoflowering-cannabis-seeds/ (+) https://growdiaries.com/seedbank/dr-seeds/60-day-wonder-autoflowering

The spider mites are still here and I can’t seem to get rid of them. Even by removing every last leaf you can find them on they still manage to hide.

So i hatvested them on day 80, they got 24h of light before harvest. I removed all fan leafes with no to verry little trichomes visible. Both plants are now drying by ca. 21°C and 57% humidity. This time i will dry them with lights on to be more efficient with my growing cycles. ( i think they will get at least 2-4 days darkness before the new seedlings move in the box )

Transplanted from red solo cup to 2 gallon pot mid week. Trying to build solid roots that are slightly bound. Intention is to train the roots horizontally and vertically in their final 7 Gallon cloth pots. I have reduced my plants from 3 to 2 plants. I feel 2 plants work better for a Scrog in a 2x4 tent. I am watering (200ppm, 6.7ph) with a 2ml solution of Seaweed Extract roughly 2.5 times per week. I am also applying it as a foliage spray using a pesticide sprayer.(brand new, so clean) Runoff water PPM 750(due to FF Ocean Soil) Ph 5.8. Same day of transplant I put my plants under my Mars Hydro Tsl2000 on full power 40 inches from the plant. Following day: 25 inches Following day: 16 inches (best recommend distance by cocoforcannabis.com) helpful site for tested lights. Currently both plants have 4 nodes. I intend to top above the 2nd node once 5 nodes appear. I intend to scrog in an X pattern with the 4 main colas that should develop.

We added a 300w unit farm light for the girls hopefully they don't get to upset in the shift.

On day 36, the lighting regime was changed to 12 hours of light. Everything goes on schedule, the plant looks very healthy. I'm satisfied:) This is my first plant that grows so well. The leaves are just perfect. Based on the result, I will be adjusting the substrate with nutrient additives.

Steady week, all the girls seem to just keep getting bigger and bigger! Defoliated which I forgot to take pictures of however, they literally replaced the foliage in days! I Have a slight worry about one of the GG as she seems to be carrying on vegging with no real signs of flowering, just stretching more each day!? This seems strange as the Stardawgs look like they could be ready for flush in the coming weeks.. I am only a newbie so maybe i'm just been a little paranoid!? Either way She's absolutely massive!! Got the Dawgs out for a little photoshoot!

Not much has really changed this week from last week. They are starting to swell up a bit more. Next week I think will be the time to start flushing them.

First attempt LST tie down stems on Gelato 41. I decided to try lst on Gelato 41 since she charged out of the gate full force and was taller than the other sprouts. From the side view, the node structure is very close. I thought since she was shooting up so quickly, there would be more space between them. Week4 I was using thin wire pins for the last. I had to switch to 1/2 garden pins to hold down the stems. As you can see she is very short and bushy. The tight node Structive is indicative of indica dominance. Lots of leaves. Looks like an afro hair do. Pic 5/24, 5/27, 6/2. Put mirrors under the canopy to add more light 6/5. Start week 5 water feed. Check pins as her stems are strong and push the pins up. 6/7 water & feed 6/9 water & feed 6/11 water & feed 6/13 water & feed light deformation 6/16 1 gal flush Gelato 41 She's the last gal in the tent to start flower. Nothing yet. 6/25 pics 6/26 took her out of the tent today and put her outside. She is one of my Afro girls. I See flowers today. 2 months after the seed popped the soil. I thought she was an auto but maybe fast photo. I will say that she is very bushy. Because of the LST, she has an even canopy with at least 20 or more tops. 7/9 pics. She has acclimated to outside very well. It's hot and humid and we have had lots of rain. Her colas have shot up in bud formation. This plant has thin leaves.much different from most other strains I've grown 7/12 more pics showing LST tie down and bud development 7/22 more pics 7/30 outside girls.

These plants are getting so frosty, and so smelly! The Terps are the most unique blend of Terps I have ever smelled, and I cannot say I expected it! Terps reek into the whole room, of strong Cherry Berry Wine, a deep ripe/nearly rotten cherry funk, with a background of that Superboof Orange Rinds, and Blue Moon IPA/Hop Terps, with a very slight hints of gassiness but that might be just the orange funk from the Superboof. Some buds are light and airy, not quite like a super silver haze or a NYC Piff kinda light and airy. It's a nice middle ground and looks as if it's gonna wash well! Some buds specifically the ones getting the strongest light, are a bit more dense. Beautiful strcuture,.spear shaped nugs with wacky formations, almost cactus like ! Haven't seen any foxtailing but almost seems as if it might as some point! Color is bright green! Which it's still a bit too early to tell if it's gonna turn purple but according to pictures that the breeder has posted of 2 diff phenos , one being completely purple and the other with a greyish green with spots of purple color! So I look forward to seeing how it looks! This Pheno has a completely different structure then the 2 Homegrown Genetics posted! Super stable for having such different genetic variation !
