Today is day 23 of flower. So I've been chasing a minor P-K deficiency. The plants are happy and healthy and are just feeding heavy at the moment. Well over and above any recommended servings with respect to the dry amendments and water soluble P-K inputs. As with any grow regardless of what you're using for inputs (organic amendments/salt based bottle feeding/crop salts/etc....) the recommended feed rates are never anything more than a baseline. So to remedy the deficiency I added the Flower 2 at 1.5 times the reccomended dosage (3 grams per liter of water) and a little over twice the dosage of Gaia Green 2-8-4 Power Bloom dry amendments (250ml per 7 gallon pot). I also fed a mung bean/barley seed sprout tea as well as a compost tea (2/3 of a cup of each seed). The feed rates will stay well above recommended servings for the Flower 2 but the 250ml addition of the 2-8-4 would be considered a large addition for a single serving so I will give the plants 5-7 days to see how they react to dry amendments before top amending again at any rate (you cant burn your plants with organic inputs but you can still suffer nutrient lockout so you need to be mindful and patient when feeding heavy.) On day 19 of flower I did a large pruning/defoliation/lollipopping of the plants. Both from the top of the pot to the bottom of the first layer of trellis removing everything. I also cleaned the plants out from above the first layer of trellis netting to the top of the plant. As I waited to clean up the bottom third of the plants until my typical strip day in flower (day 18-21 depending on strain and flowering times, these are 9 week strains which is why the strip falls in the day 18-21 range, if they were 8 week finishers the leaf strip would take place somewhere between days 14-16). When running multiple layers of trellis netting it's best to prune/lollipop everything below the first layer of netting about 7-10 days before the flip. Odds are your lights wont penetrate that far down the plant so these areas of the plant typically only produce what's commonly known as larf. I'm running new lights so I decided I'd wait until the big strip I always do in flower. This was grower error. I know better and wont make this mistake again. Its unnecessary stress added during flower that could've been prevented. As I decided to wait to clean out the bottoms I didnt prune the plants as aggressively as I normally would (I adopted Grand Master Levels leaf strip practices years ago, check him out on IG or YouTube if you want to see what that looks like). The week went smoothly with no major issues to report. The seasons are changing here so were getting rain, damp wet snow, and have very humid conditions outside. As a result this affects the atmosphere in my grow room but not enough to cause concern. A little less than 6 weeks until the chop!

Harvest done after a week of flushing, the result is always satisfactory. One of my favorite strains, after the drying and curing process I'm **updating my feedback! Thank you all for following the process. 💪👊 **Gelato 41 has a sweet and creamy aroma, with notes of vanilla, berries, and a citrus touch. The flavor is smooth and creamy like a dessert, with lemon and mint on the exhale.

SUMMARY: Switched to late bloom nutes on day 73. She's starting to fade prematurely and I don't know why. I was thinking it was the molasses clogging her up as she was draining very slow and so I just fed her pH'd water over the weekend but I should have flushed her properly. DAY 71 ----------- Tuesday 9th March 10:45 I fed the Amnesia 300ml of mid bloom nutes which produced 160ml runoff (53%). I made 5L of mid bloom nutes with tap water and molasses at a pH of 5.8. I made 5L of late bloom nutes with tap water and molasses at a pH of 5.8. Tuesday 9th March 18:00 I fed the Amnesia 150ml of mid bloom nutes which produced 15ml runoff (10%). [25°C/51%] DAY 72 ----------- Wednesday 10th March 11:30 I fed the Amnesia 300ml of mid bloom nutes which produced 160ml runoff (53%). Wednesday 10th March 18:00 I fed the Amnesia 200ml of mid bloom nutes which produced 40ml runoff (20%). [27°C/54%] DAY 73 ----------- Thursday 11th March 11:00 I fed the Amnesia 300ml of late bloom nutes which produced 110ml runoff (36%). I made 20L of late bloom nutes with rain water and molasses. 5L at 5.7, 5L at 5.8, 5L at 5.9, and 5L at 6.2. Thursday 11th March 18:00 I fed the Amnesia 150ml of late bloom nutes which produced 20ml runoff (13%). [26°C/47%] DAY 74 ----------- Friday 12th March 11:30 I fed the Amnesia 300ml of late bloom nutes which produced 80ml runoff (%). DAY 75 ----------- Friday 12th March 14:45 I fed the Amnesia a further 220ml as she appears to be dying and so Im thinking this might "flush" any residual build up if that's the issue. I got 80ml runoff (36%). Friday 12th March 18:00 I fed the Amnesia 200ml of late bloom nutes which produced 110ml runoff (55%). [26°C/48%] DAY 76 ----------- Saturday 13th March 12:00 I fed the Amnesia 600ml of rainwater at a pH of 6.2 in an effort to flush her as shes fading for some reason. I collected 400ml runoff (67%). [26°C/42%] Saturday 13th March 19:00 I fed the Amnesia a further 300ml of rain water at a pH of 5.8 which produced 100ml runoff (33%). [26°C/48%] Saturday 13th March 21:30 I fed the Amnesia a further 300ml of rain water at a pH of 5.8 in an effort to flush the medium. [26°C/48%] DAY 77 ----------- Sunday 14th March 11:00 I fed the Amnesia another 600ml of rainwater in an effort to flush her. She's draining extremely slow and so I think there is a build up of residue, possibly caused by the molasses. I collected 500ml runoff (84%)...I think she may be dying? Fuck. [26°C/42%] I made 15L of late bloom nutes with rainwater and molasses. 5L at 5.8, 5L at 6.0, and 5L at 6.2. Sunday 14th March 16:00 I fed the Amnesia another 300ml of rainwater. Sunday 14th March 18:30 I fed the Amnesia a further 200ml of rain water at a pH of 5.8 which produced 200ml runoff (100%). [26°C/48%] Sunday 14th March 20:30 I fed the Amnesia a further 200ml rainwater which produced 180ml runoff (90%). DAY 78 ----------- Monday 15th March 11:00 I fed the Amnesia 300ml of late bloom nutes which produced 180ml runoff (60%). She's draining better now and should be flushed enough. [26°C/42%] I made 5L of late bloom nutes with rainwater and molasses at a pH of 6.3. Monday 15th March 18:00 I fed the Amnesia a further 300ml of late bloom nutes, though at 150ml a time, 2hours apart. I collected roughly 100ml runoff each time (66%). [26°C/51%]

De plantjes staan nu al een paar dagen in bloei. Ik heb ze paar dagen alleen maar water gegeven omdat ze wat donker van kleur waren nu geef ik weer voeding. Heb net mijn netje geplaatst en binnen paar dagen schakel ik over naar bloeivoeding.

At first i really thought this plant would be a male because its stems are SO THICK! At first it also had 3 finger fused leaves showing before slowly, every new node that formed, did so with a more "classic" style, whilst also being "comically" large Quite interested in the mass of flowers this one will produce, as with the SWAG MDC, its being held down with garden wire.

Finished the last week of flushing WOO! and its harvest time! I put them in 48 hours of darkness on Wednesday ready to crop for saturday, I will do a proper harvest report next week when I have them ready to go into curing jars along with some pictures and a full report, but I will add this some of the smells I was getting whilst trimming where unreal smells like pine, citrus, beef and a really faint sweet smell I cant put my finger on... I'm not saying that's 100% what it smells like but it smells similar to wild garlic. Well these b*tches took 14 long hours( could of done it quicker but we made a day of it ) all bud is trimmed and primed for drying then curing. Happy Growing 👊👍

01/28/23 - Gave her another round of haircut and lollipop. Under the canopy looks lot cleaner. I have better air circulation and light penetration now. Defol also exposes lot more cola sites to the light. Hoping she doesn't go in shock since it's an auto. She is a late bloome, I am just starting to see more pistils. So most likely she will live in the tent for another couple months! 01/29/23 - She drank a gallon of fox farm nutrients (grow and bloom). I was worried about sending her in shock with latest defol. The way her canopy turned out a day later, absolutely gorgeous 😍! 02/01/23 - Frustratingly did another round of defoliation. I see pistils but she is not ready to come out of vegetation. I might contact ILGM to figure out what's going on here. 02/03/23- End of week 9 for this girl. Still in preflower. The bud sites are getting thicker and I am seeing more pistils. It's nowhere near where I want it to be but I've decided to give it the time it needs.

Tricombes mainly milky, some half milky, no amber yet. Pistils are starting to turn orange, white is still the prominent pistil colour at the moment. Couple of leaves are starting to yellow but all up, apart from a slight nute burn the girls are doing nicely. Smells like blueberries, rosemary and chives.. thank Christ for the carbon filter!

We are at 21 days from these girls breaking the surface and they are making progress. This little slurricane 7 had a rough start but looks like shes pulling through. I noticed at the beginning of the week that they were a little overdosed on nitrogen so I added 2 gallons of tap water to the reservoir and adjusted the ph to 6. They are still looking a little heavy on N but their growth rate is going great so I think it should balance out by the end of next week. I dont plan on doing a water change until I flower them. I left the plants alone most of the week. Tied most of them down to spread them out and defoliated a few lower leaves on day 20. The branches on most of these plants are thick and solid already. They don't budge easily. Bananasicle is looking pretty funky with uneven branch and node growth but we are just going to push forward. Still pumping nutrients and beaming light 24 hours a day. I'm thinking day 28 we will switch them to flower and see if any of these ladies can bring some❄️🔥💨

2018-03-20 Week 12 Day 1 New week and not much to say. No water or nutes today, just the regular weekly check to see that they look nice and healthy. Raised the lamp about 10 cm to make sure that the girls don't get burned again. Power Plant XL nr1 is 55 cm Power Plant XL nr2 is 49 cm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Strain information Genetics for the famous Power Plant were captured by a group of Dutch growers on a trip to South Africa, back in the 90’s. They managed to breed a strain that was soon a popular choice in coffee shops of the Netherlands, most likely due to the soaring and intense Sativa high. Zambeza Seeds thought that the productiveness of Power Plant should never be forgotten and created an updated version, to bring the legend back to live. Power Plant XL yields up to 600-750g/m² in a flowering period of approximately 55 days! The efficiency and productiveness of Power Plant XL fears no comparison with many recently bred cannabis strains. Indoor heights of 80-110cm make this sativa-dominant variety relatively easy to grow, but outdoor growers need to be aware of the power that is being released under the sun. Outdoor plants can easily reach heights of 150-200cm, and yields of 500-600g per plant. The taste of Power Plant XL can be described as a delightful blend of sweet and sour flavours, with subtle hints of pine tree in the background. Smokers who appreciate a very strong and uplifting Sativa high will be more than satisfied with the effects. One will experience feelings of euphoria that are definitely intense and uplifting, typical for a South African Sativa like this. The up-high can also evolve into being more relaxed, especially when larger quantities are being consumed. Some people suspect Power Plant to be grown in large commercial operations around the world. It doesn’t really matter if these assumptions are the truth or myths, but Zambeza’s breeders are very proud to bring this highly productive legend back to live. The updated version of it, Power Plant XL, is the most efficient Dutch "bud factory" money can buy. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day 33 Update Wow!! So for the first time I have opened up GROWDIARIES on a computer, and I must say this is a much better layout and easier to use than my cell phone. I will be doing updates like this from now on. So with the help from @DabCrab I finally came up with a nutrient schedule that I will stick to. I have honestly been all over the place when feeding and it was time for a change, so this will start next feed. I also have decided to switch my light cycle to a 12-12 to determine gender of plants, and will revert back to veg cycle once what ever males are pulled out of the room. I plan on vegging for a very long time, have not decided on how many weeks. I guess however long it takes to fill up the scrog net that I made. I will make the light switch at the start of week 6. Merry Christmas from my family to yours! Stay safe, stoned, and happy

Starting off week 2 with some issues. I have noticed a lightening of the leaf edges and slight crinkling on the leaves. I have ran into this type of issue in the past and I suspected it to be a root bound issue. This time I am not completely sure. I will up pot by the end of this week and compare. I was busy with the holidays so I put the humidity dome back on before I went and up the size of the growing containers. I think it helped out and you can see that they perked up with the high humidity under the dome. I believe the lighter green edges is a mag deficiency. I will add more cal-mag during next weeks feedings.

💚 ORION LIQUID NUTRIENTS 💜 This is a clear example of me absolutely underestimating the nutrient need when using only liquid nutrients. The plant, as a result, has really not grown as this in comparison with the 💚ORION F1 ORGANIC DRY AMENDMENTS* 💚 Which has been topped and grown 3 times the size of this one! I topped this plant on the 20.6.25. Here is what I fed this week: 19.6.25: I watered with 2L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.1 and containing the following nutrients per 2 litres; ♡ 1/3 Cal-Mag ♡ 1/3 Mega Crop Part B ♡ 1/3 Tsp Mega Crop Part A by Greenleaf Nutrients PH: 6.1 PPM: 891 26.6.25 I gave 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.6 with the following nutrients per 2ltrs; ♡ 2 ml Ecothrive Trace ♡ 1 Tsp Ecothrive Biosys PPM: 811 PH: 6.6 Thanks for stopping by this week 💚✌️🍃😊🌱

The aroma of wood and lemon is over whelming as I did a light defoliation during the start of the week, this will aid in finishing up the lower bud sites.. Super close to harvest now but she is still throwing out fresh white hairs so I know there's some fattening up to do. Counting these last fleeting days can always feel so taxing don't you agree? Anxiously awaiting harvest time now, patience in all good things. 💪
