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!

Unknown Strain SA PLUG Edition, herself and Monday's Blue,are the oldest trees, and yet they have not finished flowering, the seasonal change is to blame. It to boosts skinny stems, but I am more intrigued in how she's going to support her buds.

Starting week 9 on 3 plants in the tent week 8 for 1 week 7 for 3 more. Today my 3 youngest got repotted in great recycled soil new amendments mi teals and Carfully cut a way the 1 gallon fabrics added Mychro all along the roots and bottom pots, I put them tin 3 gallon Potts and a 5 gallon pot all fabric I extended my grow by completely opening the tent sides and added a 75 and 50 watts of light The lights are 16 inches above the stretched canopy.i had a slight PH downshift so I purchased PH up and I’m back to 6.4 soil. Oh I was doing 800 and 400 ppm into all pots all are in flower. I always water to 10% runoff and I use a Turkey baster and DEWALT ShopVac to suck up the extra water, 333 is the pppm at the run off. I’ll try and do better pictures I’m wanting to CHOP on day 85 (21 days to go ). The Net is great took some leaves off watching it all come together PH is making my leaves soft very green and healthy looking. I moved branches for better light exposure clippped lower buds and skinny branches ( Larf). Smoke em if you got em šŸ¤˜šŸ»

Dopo aver raccolto la piu piccola che era la più matura ho iniziato il lavaggia di altre 3 mentre a 1 inizierò dalla prossima volta... I fiori più maturi sono bellissimi e il profumo è altrettanto fantastico!!! Le annaffierò altre 3 volte con sola acqua e siamo al traguardo!!!

The plants are doing beautifully after two waves of bug attacks. The first wave was spider mites that I located in my greenhouse before they had a chance to spread to my canibus.I had to spray two days in a row to kill them all. Than 5 days layer I see thrips, so I gave it another spray. I foiler fead my nutrients.

March 9, 2021 (Day 64, Flower 15): Pots were already light today. A day earlier than usual. Watered with 4l per plant with 3ml/l pH Perfect Bloom + 1ml/l pH Perfect Grow + 2ml/l Sweet Raw + 2ml/l Big Bud + 1ml/l Cal-Mag Plus at 6.2 pH. Runoff at 6.4 pH - barely got any this time. May have to look into more water per application. Plants are looking fantastic. Buds are starting to form all over each plant now. Smell is getting stronger. Moved humidifier outside tent because the plants are creating enough of their own humidity I've had to turn on the carbon filter and inline fan. This knocked the average humidity down just a bit which is just fine with me at this point considering my lower temperatures. The stretch already seems to be slowing down a bit. Averaging 45% rH and 70℉. March 10, 2021 (Day 65, Flower 16): Unknown 1 is starting to slow down the stretch a bit, but the other plants keep gaining height. They're becoming a bit more even now at least. Everything is looking great. Averaging 45% rH and 70℉. March 11, 2021 (Day 66, Flower 17): Stretch has definitely slowed now. Pistils are shooting everywhere and buds are forming strong. A few more days and I'll take some fan leaves. Smell is getting really strong and filled my entire house - had to turn up the carbon filter a bit to control the scent. Really liking what I'm seeing so far. Averaging 45% rH and 70℉. March 12, 2021 (Day 67, Flower 18): Pots were light today. Watered with 4l per plant with 3ml/l pH Perfect Bloom + 1ml/l pH Perfect Grow + 2ml/l Sweet Raw + 2ml/l Big Bud + 1ml/l Cal-Mag Plus at 5.8 pH. Plants were really starting to bush out and some of the fan leaf stems were pushing 6"+, so I decided to pull the trigger on my first round of defoliation today. I was going to wait until day 21, but too many bud sites were being covered. The plants look fantastic. Buds are starting to smell amazing. Averaging 45% rH and 70℉. March 13, 2021 (Day 68, Flower 19): Plants are looking great. Tilled top half-inch of soil. Definitely seeing some trichome growth, especially on Unknown 2. Had to turn up my carbon filter as the smell is starting to get out of control. The smell's a mix of gym socks, gasoline, and cream with a hint of sweetness. The smell punches you in the face when you open the tent. I hadn't measured the plants in a few days; Unknown 1 is all the way up to 27" tall. The other plants are lagging behind a bit but the light and air penetration looks great. Averaging 45% rH and 70℉. March 14, 2021 (Day 69, Flower 20): This hobby is great. So much fun opening my tent each day to check on the plants. They're getting more and more smelly. Buds are chunking up a bit and trichomes are starting to form. Everything is looking great. Tilled the top soil again. Tucked a few auxiliary fan leaves away from developing bud sites on Gelato 1 and Unknown 2. Averaging 45% rH and 70℉. March 15, 2021 (Day 70, Flower 21): Pots were light today. Watered with 4l per plant with 4ml/l pH Perfect Bloom + 1ml/l pH Perfect Grow + 2ml/l Sweet Raw + 2ml/l Big Bud + 1ml/l Cal-Mag Plus at 6.5 pH. The buds are starting to frost up and pistils are shooting out everywhere. Turning down humidity another 5-10% the next few weeks. Averaging 45% rH and 70℉. Really excited to see what the next several weeks have in store!

So the trio reached a great point for me to try out the talked about LST 90* bender clips. They worked pretty easy and I didn’t have the feeling that I was about to snap the branches. Let see how they hold up, I would imagine I have to keep moving them so they don’t grow in. Next week should be exciting with so much more new growth. See you all then

Freu mich schon voll auf die Blüten. Bin gespannt wie die 7th Wave performen wird. Auch ein starker Stretch, so das ich die Triebe immer wieder unter das Netz knüpfen muss.

Week 11 has been exactly the same as week 10. There has been some light yellowing one Girl #1 and some of the hairs are starting to turn orange. The colas aren’t very dense. Girl#1 has been doing some weird fox tailing on all the colas.My temperatures haven’t been over 77 and my humidity hasn’t been over 55. I have seen this before in other diaries with other stains. Guess that’s just comes with the territory of ruderalis crossed strains. Can’t really complain cause this is my first rodeo with Autos so I’m just happy to have this experience. I officially think the delayed Pineapple Express auto might not even have the autoflower trait. It’s been 11 weeks and she hasn’t showed the slightest chance of ever flowering. This is really frustrating and deflating. I’m gonna definitely have to put this girl into 12-12. That will have to be after girl #1 is finished. I’m very appreciative of all who show your continued support and give insightful infomation. Can’t wait to see what this harvest will be. This is my first official auto grow. I wouldn’t change it at all. Thank you all for your support and time. More to come soon šŸ’ššŸ‘Š

šŸ“… Week 5 | šŸ—“ļø Days 29–35 – Low, wide, and locked-in šŸ”ø Growth & structure: Biscotti Gelato is loving life this week. She’s sitting low and proud with a tidy, pancake-flat canopy—tops marching in perfect formation. The main stem is chunky with neat training ā€œknuckles,ā€ and the undercarriage is clean so light and air glide right through. Leaves are a deep, happy green and holding that cute ā€œhands-upā€ pray—no burns, no drama. šŸ”ø Training: Kept the LST/manifold rhythm going. Tie-downs are doing their job and everything stays level. I plucked a few interior fans—just enough to let the center breathe and give those fresh tips some runway šŸ”ø Looking to Week 6: Keep the table-top shape. Only snip leaves that clearly throw shade, and give the ties a gentle retighten so all leaders stay shoulder-to-shoulder. Once the footprint is nicely packed, we’re ready to flip—time to trade squats for stretch. 🌸 šŸ“ˆ Current Conditions: šŸŒ”ļø Day: 26 °C šŸŒ”ļø Night: 19 °C šŸ’Ø Humidity: 60% šŸ”¦ PPFD: 400–500 µmol (18/6 light cycle) šŸ› ļø Setup: šŸ’” Spider-Farmer 100 W ⛺ Tent: 120 Ɨ 120 Ɨ 180 cm šŸÆ Pots: 18 L plastic pots 🌱 Medium: Bio-Bizz Light Mix šŸ’Š Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients šŸ’§ Water: Tap water (0.5 EC)

Hello World šŸŒŽ ā˜ŗļø šŸ¤—!!! She sprouted successfully in her Jiffy Pellet.. Added nothing to the H20...Plain Water! After she was about 2cm, I transferred her directly into her final home...which is a 15L Fabric Pot filled with Living Soil...Since she will be growing outdoors.. After the transfer.. Gave her a good feeding of plain H20 but made sure not to drown her though..
