Looking great plant are doing amazing.

3/16/20 All is well and the plant is thriving. She is very very healthy and is requiring quite heavy nutrients and she desires a lot of cal mag. I am having to constantly defoliate her but I will defoliate her heavily one more time and stop. It is very interesting that it took her 10 weeks to flower on her own. Because of her massive roots, I can’t even fill in 5 gallons without almost drowning her but she gulps it down within 4-5 days. So far I am glad I didn’t kill her but she is just taking way too long.

Das Ende kommt sichtbar näher. Die Blütennarben an den Spitzen beginnen sich bereits orange und braun zu verfärben und die Buds sind merklich dicker und auch fester geworden. Beide Pflanzen sind sehr harzig, unterscheiden sich jedoch immer noch im Duft. Es sind unterschiedliche Phänotypen. Ich werde die Düngergaben und die Luftfeuchtigkeit weiter verringern und hoffe auf eine gute Ernte! --- The end is visibly approaching. The flower stigmas at the tips are already beginning to turn orange and brown and the buds have become noticeably thicker and firmer. Both plants are very resinous, but still differ in scent. They are different phenotypes. I will continue to reduce the amount of fertilizer and humidity and hope for a good harvest!

Bending ULH1, and give her a dose of 1l: (3ml/l TopVeg+1ml/l Green Explosion) , after the Nutrients dose it got a little more darker. The broken leaves are being replaced by the new branches leaves, so the storm was just a little pain ... Vigorous mode: ON Watering ULH2: It is getting more colour :) . I think it is starting to root well and eat the nutes stored in the soil.

Buds are fattening up nicely. Red hairs are starting to come in on some of the buds. Overall, looking very frosty and healthy. It's a little mind blowing that this grow - which seemed so slow to start has gone into overdrive.

This week I allowed Ms Tropi so she could peacefully do her stretching I can say with confidence she won’t really be a big one. She smells like a small lemon, orange, and pineapple tree hence the name Tropicana I guess 😏 What I’m mostly impressed with so far is her speed and resilience. With the right conditions and feed schedule she seems to run for flowering which could be ideal if in need of a quick run. 📝 Onto the finishing weeks! On y vas 🏾‍♂️💨

The pound cake auto so far is an amazing plant. It has grown great and is super strong. Honestly it might be the strongest growing plant I have ever grown The weather is starting to warm up a bit it has been below freezing for over 30 days and now the snow is starting to melt finally it’s a lot easier to keep the humidity on point when it’s like 32 outside compared to 10

Defoliated a few fan leaves. All the phenos are different heights but I'm making it work.

Day 29 Overall I have no big plans for the girls this week. Just letting them recover from topping last week, and I'll continue to adjust the LST wires as needed. Also, I have decided to stop measuring the plant size every day as it is a bit pointless this far into veg. Instead, I will measure the girls at the end of each week. I started this week by feeding the plants' compost tea as well as foliar feed them. I have a small hand sprayer which works well as I only have a couple of plants. The bendable nozzle is convenient as it allows me to feed all sides of the plants easily. I just need to be careful when I do the underside of the leaves with the nozzle pointing upwards so I don't get my face full of wormpoop juice. I gave each girl around 2 liters of tea, and I completely forgot to check the pH. Sigh. Also, it is worth noting that I gave the tea to the plants just after the lights out so that the tea didn't burn on the leaves.  I noticed some light green/yellow tips on the new growth at the very top of the right girl. New growth further down doesn't show any yellow tips, so I suspect that I might be dealing with light bleaching. I checked the light level at the canopy, and it was up around 850 PPFD which is relatively high. (I completely forgot to raise the lights as the plants grew. DOH!) I moved up the light around 10 cm and then measured around 640 PPFD at canopy level. Hopefully, that will sort out those yellow tips but I'll keep my eyes on it. Day 30 All I did today was to once again cut back the cover crop a bit and tighten the LST wires. I did pull a bit too much on the left girl and heard a "crack". Turn out that the branch broke just right by the main stem but I think it will heal just fine as it was a really small break. Time will tell. Day 31 Today was moving day and I finally moved out all tomatoes and pepper plants. Good to have a bit more space again considering how cramped my tent is. I also did some more cover crop trimming and it is insane how much it grows. I removed a couple more leaves from the right girl as they weren't getting any light that far down on the plant. The branch on the left girl that I broke yesterday looks like a lost cause at this point but I'll give it another day or two to see if it heals. Kinda doubt it but let's see. I also tightened all the LST wires further and gave each girl around 2.5 liters of pH 6.0 water. The tops are looking good in the propagation tray but no visible roots yet. I gave them a bit more aloe tea. Finally, I hung up a CO2 bag in the tent. One of the problems with my setup is that the tent gets quite hot due to the powerful lights and since the tent is so small I can't fit an AC in there. Hopefully, the CO2 will help with the heat problem now when the weather is getting better which means that the tent will become even warmer. Day 32 Today I went on a field trip to a nearby horse ranch to hunt down and gather compost worms. I gathered around 50 red wrigglers, cleaned them up, and added them to my pots. Even though I watered the girls yesterday, the right one was dry today, so I gave her around 2 liters of pH 6.5 water. Thirsty girl but then she is also large and bushy, making sense that she drinks more than the other plant. Yesterday, I hung up a CO2 bag in the tent, and unfortunately, it really smells like shit. Literally. I hope the smell will decrease with time because right now, it stinks pretty bad when I open the tent. Ugh. Finally, I removed that broken branch as it was clear it wouldn't make it. Day 33 Ahhhhh, the wonderful feeling of opening up the tent and get hit by a wall of shit smell. My girlfriend even bitched me out that the entire apartment stinks. This was the first time I bought this brand of CO2 bags and I seriously doubt that I will repurchase it... More watering today, and I gave each girl 2.5 liters of pH 6.5 water. At least all this watering keeps the humidity at a reasonable level, but I really should get around to hooking up the Blumat system, so I don't need to hand-water all the time. I'm way too lazy to have to water every day. I did some additional defoliation on the left girl. Nothing crazy. It was just removing a few leaves that weren't getting any lights at the bottom of the plant. I also installed a scrog net but am not thrilled about how it fits. I'll leave it for now but think I will have to make my own in the future. Finally, I managed to put up a plastic pocket on the wall of the tent. Something that I have considered since getting the tent but never gotten around to doing. It is just a place where I can put the tools that I use most - scissors for cutting back cover crop and defoliation, PAR meter to check light levels, pH meter to make sure that my water is ok, and glasses for inspecting the plants. Day 34 Today my girlfriend was hiding in bed, under the cover, as I opened the tent. Just in case... Sure, enough. It still stinks. No big mission today. Just a quick maintenance mission where I cut down the cover crops a bit and removed another few leaves to increase air circulation. I also repositioned and tightened the LST wires. That was it. Day 35 End of week 5 of vegetation and another fairly easy day. I gave each girl 3liters of pH 6.2 water, tightened up a couple of LST wires, tucked in a few branches into the net, and super-cropped a couple of branches on the right girl. The left girl is 24 cm tall and the right one 34 cm tall. I also moved the tops out of the tent as very little light reaches the floor of the tent now when the girls are getting bushy. I put them under a ViparSpectra light together with my tomatoes and chilis. I still have no exact plan what to do with the clones if they survive but maybe I'll plant them outdoors and see what happens.

She is nice and tall. Flowring stage has started so next few weeks will be geting some bud growing on her

15.9. Girls are insane! Contest girl have biggest, harder buds with more intense smell like others 🤤 all girls get just pure balanced water. There we have 2 different phenos of this strain. Chop day is on next door 😁 22.9. Chop day!!! I found few mold spots but nothing serious 💪

🤔🌿🌱🍃🌗🌞

Oct 12: some bud progress but still slow flowering. This is a sativa leaning pheno so likely other phenos would be a bit faster. Getting some nice white trichomes but the pistils are still mostly white. Sunlight is weak now so I don’t know how much further she can progress. Weather is unusually warm so that helps. Oct 15: looks like the finish won’t be too bad…the flowers are maturing despite the weak and low sun. Removed most fan leaves that were shading buds. Still using the 730 nm far red light for a few seconds at dusk. Oct 16: moved it into position this morning but mistakenly turned it 180. Whoops, oh well, North side buds got a bonus day of sun. Oct 18: warm and sunny but the season will only last until the weekend. The buds are looking ripe enough and I’ll harvest them 3-4 days.

Stacking very nice...

Good plant! Was attacked by flies (Sciaridae), thrips, tetranychus and a monster cat but always remained strong! The attacks had just slowed down the growth (this little one has 2 month of growth). Even in microgrow, the blooming is really impressive: as fast as an indica but for as long as a sativa. The genetics is not perfect: some parts of the same flower were too mature and some new parts swere still emerging... it's a research strain! The smell is really good and relatively light comparing to others strains. After few volacano : the weed taste like "tropical soda" or passion fruit mixed with cream. The effect is much stronger than I expected for a THC-CBD hybrid, is more indica than the pure indica: the afghan side + the CBD relaxation make a real sleeping medecine. => The taste and effect are really different from every other strain, try it!

Die neue Woche im Growzelt fühlt sich ein bisschen an wie ein Besuch bei einem übermotivierten Fitnessstudio-Neuling: alles wächst, alles drängt nach vorne, und niemand kennt sein Limit. Der Permanent Marker steht da wie eine gedrungene Schönheit mit breiten Indica-Blättern, so gesund, dass man fast ein schlechtes Gewissen bekommt, überhaupt eine Schere in die Hand zu nehmen. Triebe überall, kräftig, ehrgeizig, alle mit dem festen Vorsatz, der Main Character zu sein. Die Auswahl, wer bleiben darf, gleicht eher einer Castingshow als Gartenarbeit, denn eigentlich hätte jeder eine Runde weiter verdient. Der Nodienabstand ist so kurz, dass man zweimal hinschauen muss, um überhaupt zu sehen, wo ein Abschnitt endet und der nächste beginnt, was das Ganze nicht gerade einfacher macht. Die Pflanze verträgt Dünger, als wäre es ein Energy-Drink, und quittiert jede Gabe mit noch mehr Wachstum, sehr erfreulich, aber auch leicht beunruhigend, wenn man Richtung Zeltdecke schielt. SCROG rückt damit endgültig vom netten Plan zur absoluten Notwendigkeit auf. Ein Trieb hat sich im Eifer des Gefechts verabschiedet (RIP, kleiner Held), wurde aber stoisch weggesteckt. Die verbleibenden Kandidaten haben die frei gewordene Energie dankend übernommen. Insgesamt bleibt das Gefühl: alles läuft hervorragend, vielleicht sogar zu hervorragend. Wenn das so weitergeht, wird nicht die Frage sein, ob der Permanent Marker performt, sondern ob das Zelt am Ende groß genug für seinen Ehrgeiz ist. Was sagt ihr zu unserem Permanent Marker?

Sie macht die ersten Centimeter 🙏

This particular one requires a fair bit of attention with defol but certainly worth the effort, she’s dripping with resin already. Added an extra fan to keep air moving over and humidity down . Same same next week

she is still going strong another 3 weeks and she might be ready Having some issue fugus bugs trying to dry them out, Ill keep you all posted
