Grow Journal Week 3: Bloom Phase Progress ๐ŸŒผ Hello dear growers and growerettes, Iโ€™m thrilled to share the third week of the bloom phase in our grow journal! Here are all the details for Week 3: Weekly Progress We are at the end of Bloom Week 3, and the plants are thriving! Even our previously problematic plant has made a full recovery. My favorite plant, the one on the left, has claimed an entire half of the tent for itself. The stretch phase has now concluded, and I am very pleased with the results. Watering and Control Systems The watering system is operating smoothly, even with the increased water consumption of the ladies. The Blumat and TrolMaster systems are working without any issues. Challenges In Week 2, I performed a heavy defoliation since I had some time that day. Although it was a bit early, the ladies have recovered well. Due to limited time over the past two weeks, and this likely continuing until the end of December, I've been doing my best to keep the journal as current as possible. Goals and Expectations In the next two weeks, I expect my buds to start swelling, and I am very excited about this development. Thank you for following along, and stay tuned for more updates! ๐ŸŒฟโœจ

01/27/25. Welcome to the start of week 4. Well, fatso is doing great now. Sheโ€™s perky and happy.. AND sheโ€™s darkened up quite a bit. No more pale girl. She was just a hungry little hippo ๐Ÿ˜ธ๐Ÿ˜ธ She was just watered yesterday, slowly, until a bit of run off. Iโ€™ve upped her food to 2.5 across 3 parts, as well as upped calmag (1) and silica (2). I pulled a dip shit move and left my measuring tape in the flower tent and itโ€™s lights off, so Iโ€™ll have to come back tomorrow to update that. Sheโ€™s at 4 nodes and as soon as sheโ€™s got 5 Iโ€™ll be topping her. Update: 1/29/25 got measurement updated and watered with food. 1/31/25- topped and plain watered and added picture/video Thanks for lookin. โœŒ๏ธ

December 15, day 1, seedling healthy with taproot growing 1.5 inches out of rapid rooter. Transplanted to seedling container. Under 25w Sansi LED untill it is ready for veg lighting. 5 gallon final container prepped with buffered coco/perlite. December 18, day 4. Seedling has had some issues with transpiration, probably due to not enough flushing of the coco. The result is damage to the tips/necrosis of the first true leaves. I flushed the medium and the seedling seems to be recovering. It is sending out more roots and growing at a steady pace. I also moved the seedling into its final pot. This feels a little premature, but it was over growing it's humidity dome. In the final pot it can be covered by clear plastic to maintain humidity. December 19, day 5, new growth is healthy which I am happy about. I will cross my fingers that my quick adjustments fixed the transpiration issues. I am hoping to get it huge and have it trained across the whole 2x4 tent, and it needs to avoid getting stunted for that to happen. ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฑ December 20, day 6, I had a bit of a scare when I accidentally knocked my humidity meter and it fell right onto the seedling! The poor thing was knocked right over. It seems to be fine, just leaning a little bit over which will hopefully correct itself in the next few days. December 21, day 7, healthy growing ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ‘

10/2: My soil mix was too hot and I accidentally killed 11 of the 12 Fastbuds seedlings I had going. So, I started about 20 Candy Cane hybrids in rapid rooters wetted with myco, tricho, and beneficial bacteria. All but one popped up. One of them did a cobra-basket and petered out. The beans all came from tray trash that accumulated while I was smoking three diff strains, so I probably won't know what they are until they are flowering. 10/4: Looks like I'll have enough growing that I have to cull the weakest few. I can feasibly (possibly) squeeze 14 into the lower section of the closet under 720w if they act right and if I do some training, and another 4 in the top under 200w if I keep them at 30" or less in height. 10/6: I think I'll veg everybody in the bottom section until I'm out of space, then move the shorter 4 or maybe 5 into the top section as necessary...and move the tiniest ones outdoors to finish. I just don't have the heart to kill anything that's got a potential yield of a half-ounce or more. Some of the most diminutive plants I've grown produced the stankiest buds.. I've currently got the 200w 3500k+660nm running at about 32" in the middle of the closet, and one of the 3 pairs of 120w 3000k+660nm quantum boards running at about 36" and should be sufficient coverage for the next week or so. Then I'll kick on the pair of boards closest to the doorway and spread them out a bit..and then I'll move the 200w light to the top section along with the best 4 short plants. At that point I'll turn on the center 2 qb's and install a 2 foot Solacure Flower Power UV light in the perpendicular center channel of my frame. 10/7: I installed my new AC Infinity 6" fan in the attic and hooked up a 16" carbon filter today. I used some sound deadening foam on the rafter that I mounted it to and removed 100% of the vibration. I haven't programmed the thermo/hygro stuff yet, but tested it on high and I can't hear a thing anywhere in the structure.๐Ÿ‘ I'm also purchasing a dual 120mm fan system from AC Infinity in the door, behind the grille I already installed to serve as fresh air intake. It also has a thermostat feature that will allow me to set it to only come on when the temps are too high, so I'm optimistic that it will allow me to manage the temperatures in this closet with about 1000w running for 18-20 hours a day.๐Ÿ™ I moved the 200w 3500k+660nm to the top section today and lowered my QB frame to 32" above the plants. I have two pairs of them running now, and received the replacement HLG 240-48A driver today for the third pair. I'll hook it up later..dont need it now.. 10/8: I fed most of them today for the first time...about 16 oz of solution containing grow big, big bloom, kelp me kelp you, boomerang, and armor si. I hooked up the 3rd pair of qb's today....wow that's bright....they're gonna love it!๐Ÿ˜Ž The last of the sprouts has been planted and is growing. That's a total of 19.... 3 of them still in 1 liter pots and getting plain distilled water. I also foliar fed all of them with a little big bloom and kelp me kelp you. 10/9: I got some Axiom to apply onto them tomorrow. It's got a good amount of Harpin a|b proteins which trigger rapid plant growth and other defensive traits that are proven to be canna-friendly, like enhanced resin production and increased resistance to molds, mildews, and fungi. I foliar fed them today with big bloom kelp me kelp you, and the day following the Axiom application I plan to foliar feed them with Biotabs BoomBoom Spray to negate any initial ill-effects caused by the Axiom. I'll probably just mist them with distilled water for a day or two following that regimen to ensure that it's all rinsed off. But, following that break in the foliar feeding routine, I've got some Fulvic/Humic acid to rain gently over them for a couple of days. 10/11: End of week 1, and I'm happy with their progress thus far.๐Ÿ˜€ They had no trouble with the "Harpin protein attack" I engaged them with yesterday... at all, and even look quite a bit bigger than I expected. They also had their first "night time* last night...4 blissful hours in 74f temps with 48%RH.๐Ÿ’ค

Che dire un altra scorta e venuta a me!! Le foto parlano da sole, sono contento del risultato finale, e mi sono risparmiato la fatica della trimmatura grazie al nuovo apparecchio, bisogna aspettare che secchi tutto per osservare e assaggiare il risultato finale, e con lo scarto del trim faremo il burro magico per le nostre ricette di biscotti brownies oli essenziali tinture ....ecc ecc ecc.... Ci vediamo al prossimo diario!!! Peace! โœŒ๏ธ

so far fully satisfied. the plant looks strong and a nice color. the first hairs are noticed. I notice signs of some parasites on the leaves, up to now I have only found about 2-3 small spiders clearly visible to the naked eye, and perhaps some other specimens of whiteflies. I accept advice on how to prevent an infestation in the best way.

Only had chance to do photos on day 41 guys, apologies for that. This week I think there was a Gamma Radiation leak nearby.. She grew 36cm!!!!!!!!!! ๐Ÿ˜‚ thats OVER 5cm / 2" per day ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜Ž. I think I got another monster on my hands ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜ I'm gonna estimate after harvest 5oz dry ๐Ÿ˜‹ I don't have much more headroom in the tent. I wish she had FIMed properly. This is an area I need to improve... ๐Ÿ˜‘ Lots of flower sites forming! She is quite bushy. For nutrients I'm using 15g of 20-20-20 mixed with 10L of water. Also added 4ml/L of both Cannazym and Terpinator. This brings it to around 1600ppm including ~300ppm for my clean water. I did an arty vertical shot this week on the timelapse. ๐Ÿ˜ Timelapse sequence: Blue Dream Auto Jack *** Pineapple Express *** CBD Compassion Lime Blue Dream *** Pineapple Express - Top Shot! *** Auto Jack

Dear Sponsors and Growers ๐Ÿ™ my whole apartment smells like lemons ๐Ÿ‹ ๐Ÿ˜ the buds continue to swell daily, you can clearly see that. I've rarely encountered such an intense fruity scent in flowering week 6. You can see that Ganja Farmer Seeds have done a great job. I still have a few weeks ahead and I hope that they continue to shine. I increased the amount of fertilizer a bit and they seem to like it, they look very healthy and happy. Mars Hydro Ts 1000 hangs 30 cm above the plants at 80% power. The plants really enjoy this light. thanks everyone for your support, see you next week friends, stay healthy ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’š

One more week of growth, the plant looks like it's entering pre-flowering Keeping the LED at a distance of 45cm from the plant. Every two days I also put a CO2 tablet in a glass of water, this water will serve to water the plant with nutrients. Watering is done with 500ml every two days. I already have the PH meter, I learned that I hope I'm not doing anything too wrong, a hug and see you next week.

Gorilla Cookies is doing great. She has about another week of bulking to go then 1-2 weeks for ripening roughly. Everything is looking good with the Spider Farmer G3000 and other sf equipment. She has a nice smell, and is looking promising.

Today marks almost 5 weeks since germination and I thought that the damaged plant had recovered enough to make the journey the rest of the way home. Iโ€™m looking at other peopleโ€™s phenos of this strain they can have quite a bit of stretch and given that I have another project up and going it was time to turn them to flower. Iโ€™d like to see the 36โ€+ stretch that Iโ€™ve seen out of others that would make these quite the specimens
