Last week ahead. Next time will cut nitrogen earlier. These ice cream cakes did not like it at this level. Also had a little dripper clog and mokums tulip got a little burnt. At these high ec levels they are super sensitive to drybacks.

Explosive growth this week! Must of doubled in size. Some kind of hungry insects, caterpillars maybe? Minor leaf damage, nothing major. Going to keep up with Neam/Aloe/Kelp spray. No rain in the foreseeable future, 26c every day, early summer for sure. Doesnt appear to need any extra nutrients, will add some more Gaia Green next week. I've had Lupins here for the past few years, which are Legumes and have great nitrogen fixing qualities, not to mention this entire patch of land had 20 years of old decaying blackberry bramble which were cleared 3 years ago when we bought the place, and the soil is some of the richest I've ever seen. No shortage of Nitrogen in there. I'll be honest, this plant is twice the size this time of year then the last 2 years I've been growing outdoors. I'm a little concerned I'll need my ladder come Oct! I did FIM once earlier in the week, will FIM ever 2-3 weeks till July to try and keep the height under control.

**** Week 12 growth - February 27 to March 5, 2021 - Week 4 Flower ***** These two girls are getting frosty and pheno 1 stacking up beautifully. The second pheno does a funny thing with growing horizontal leaves when happy and not point way up๐Ÿ˜ƒ Light intensity increased this week. Pushed up to 525 watts and then to 550 watts at the end of the week. This got the a little hot by the end of the week though. Working with a new light and finding the sweet spots takes a run or two. Learning how the girls grow anyway so the whole run is a lot of learning......its all good๐Ÿ˜€ Nutrients were pushed a little at the end of last week and the start of this week so backing off a bit more again. Given that they were pushed with light intensity they started showing some signs of nutrient issues. Itโ€™s good though as there is reaction time and back off to plain water feed for a couple of days at the end of the week and into week 5. Week 5 is going to be the start of the last stage of flower feed and work with that for two weeks, then stop feeding at the end of week 6........the plan so far anyway. Mimosa is longer strain though so they may get another week.๐Ÿ‘ Little more detail....... Feb 27/21 - Day 22 - big feed day - all IPP line plus silica @ 1ml, CalMag @ 1ml, Rezin @ 1.5ml, enzymes @ 1.5ml - 1650ppm and 6.1pH - 4L for MM1 and 3L for MM2 - MM2 grows some horizontal leaves at the top. - MM1 is swelling and getting frost now!!๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜Ž Feb 28/21 - Day23 - Microbe day but also added some CalMag - 3L for MM1 and 2L for MM2 - Natures Candy @ 1.5ml, Recharge @ 1/2 tsp/gal, Magnifical @ 1.5ml, Micro @ 1ml, Bloom 1.5ml, Terpinator @ 2ml - 950 ppm and 6.0pH - leaf colour almost looks light today. Mar 1/21 - Day 24 - dry out day. Mar 2/21 - Day 25 - plain water - 300ppm and 6.1 pH - 4L in MM1 and 3L in MM2 - light power pushed up to 550 watts today. - (too much from 16โ€ to 20โ€........note!!) Mar 3/21 - Day 26 - plain water with two suppliiments - 4L for MM2 and 2.5L for MM2. - Terpinator @ 3ml, Rezin @ 2ml. - 525ppm & 6.0pH - stripped some leaves today......sticky in the middle๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Mar 4/21 - Day 27 - no water added today - light power reduced today 450 watts. - been going too hard with intensity. Seeing leaf curl on other girls in the tent. - MM2 is showing light stress or Potassium deficiency.....related to CalMag?? - joys of diagnosing cannabis๐Ÿ˜‚ - starting with backing off light and reduce ppm going in but not the ml๐Ÿ‘ Mar 5/21 - Day 28 - hit with microbes again to help with stresses. - recharge @ 1 tsp/gal, Natureโ€™s Candy @ 1.5ml - 375ppm and 6.0pH - 3L for MM1 and 2.5L for MM2 Moving right along we are through 4 weeks now and moving past the middle of flower.

Week 6 Flower Report: Maturation in Full Swing! ๐ŸŒŸ Welcome to the week where the magic of maturation takes center stage! ๐ŸŒŸ The garden has reached a pivotal moment as the trichomes are bursting with potential. Each one a glittering universe, they are the undeniable stars of this show, taking over every surface with their frosty brilliance. โœจ Watching them evolve is like witnessing art being created in real time โ€“ itโ€™s a reminder of the beauty and patience this craft demands. Trichomes: The Frosty Frontier This week, the focus is all about those frosty beauties! โ€ข Trichomes are the key indicators of ripeness and cannabinoid production. Watching their progression from clear to cloudy to amber provides the ultimate insight into maturity. โ€ข Currently, weโ€™re seeing a fantastic mix of cloudy trichomes with some clear still hanging around โ€“ a perfect sign that theyโ€™re gearing up for their final push. โ€ข Fun fact: Trichomes serve as the plantโ€™s natural defense mechanism, protecting it from UV rays and pests while being our treasure trove for cannabinoids and terpenes. Spectrum Tuning: The Science of Light Light plays a major role in shaping the maturation process, and this week, weโ€™ve dialed in the spectrum for optimal results. Hereโ€™s the breakdown: โ€ข Whites: Running at 77% to maintain robust overall growth and trichome density. โ€ข Deep Reds, Far Reds, and UV: Maxed out at 100% to mimic the end-of-season spectrum, signaling the plants to finish strong. โ€ข Deep Reds: Enhance photosynthesis efficiency through the Emerson effect. โ€ข Far Reds: Promote stretch and flowering hormone production. โ€ข UV: Stimulates trichome production for an extra boost of frost! Weโ€™ve also added a timing twist: โ€ข Reds & UV start 15 minutes before whites to simulate sunrise. โ€ข Reds & UV finish 15 minutes after whites to mimic sunset, creating a more natural light transition. These subtle timing tricks help reduce stress while optimizing light absorption, ensuring every photon counts! ๐ŸŒž Environmental Conditions: Precision is Key Here are the dialed-in parameters for the week: โ€ข Temps: 26.3ยฐC โ€ข RH: 70.1% โ€ข CO2: 800 ppm โ€ข VPD: 1.03 kPa With these numbers, the ladies are thriving in their sweet spot, absorbing nutrients efficiently while maximizing trichome development. Lighting Power: โ€ข Lower layer at 800 PPFD and the upper layer shining bright at 1500 PPFD. The canopy coverage is perfect for even development throughout the garden. Nutrition: Balanced and Boosted Weโ€™ve stuck with the tried-and-true nutrient mix this week but with some strategic adjustments: โ€ข Removed Breaking Powder to focus on trichome maturity. โ€ข Introduced K-Boost at 0.5 ml/L, giving the plants the potassium edge they need to pack on weight and enhance terpene production. โ€ข Feeding solution details: โ€ข pH: 6.2 โ€ข TDS: 755 ppm โ€ข Temp: 20.6ยฐC In the Autopots, the medium stays perfectly hydrated at 100% with: โ€ข TDS: 580 ppm โ€ข Temp: 22.2ยฐC Shoutouts and Gratitude A huge shoutout to the amazing genetics and these incredible ladies, and a big thanks to Trol Master, Aptus Holland and Pro Mix for the stellar products that are elevating this grow to new heights! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ช To all growers out there, remember: Patience is the secret ingredient. Watch, learn, and trust the process โ€“ the results will always amaze you. Hereโ€™s to another week of growth and gratitude. Onwards to Week 7 with hearts full of joy and gardens full of frost! ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’š Growers Love, Your Grateful Gardener Discount Codes so you can save big on your next check out ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š Kannabia - DOGDOCTOR 30% off SeedsmanSeeds - DOGDOCTOR 10% off CannaKan- DOGDOCTOR 15% off terpyz.eu - DOCTOR 15% off The Neutralizer - PORKIT5-DOG 15% off Fast Buds - DOGDOCT 15% off As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life ๐Ÿ™โ€จ With true love comes happiness ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ™ Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so ๐Ÿ’š Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only Growers Love to you all ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š

Today I changed the CFL from 125>250w to try help hold a higher temperature overnight as it has been fairly cold in there. Roots are now touching the bottom of the pot they look healthy and white. Soon I will repot I got a bag of Coco today and some micorizor ๐Ÿ˜… just to get new pots I've lost the old ones. Vegging fast these are already showing tiny preflowers starting to form and starting to smell slightly of blueberry muffins

Video quality is so so for closeups with GoPro. Both phenos are super fire 2 more watering and will be flushing for about two weeks should take me near harvest at week 9-10. Mars Hydro FC4800 dimmed at 300w, will help lower temps and bring out those colours.

In general, I liked growing this variety, the only thing is a lot of small leaves, it is not very convenient to cut, but the colas are very dense and weigh well, there are also many small stepsons, although I cleaned up during unnecessary time, powdery mildew appeared after the rain, which is difficult get rid of the large number of leaves on the plant, and it's very good)

honestly, I wasn't even sure if it was time to harvest. I did everything off the naked eye and I definitely wasn't able to look at trichomes to determine so i went based off the ratio of brown to clear/white. i harvested only the top cola and left the bottom bud sights on to see if they would grow anymore lol anyways, time to cure and dry. cant wait to taste my first full grow!

This week was good for the Cream auto. I performed some defoliation and undid the LST for a couple days as well as raised the lights to 24" to induce some stretching. I did selectively begin LST on the Cream towards the end of week 5. She has been getting 1/4 strength flower nutes and recieved a fresh top dressing of hot soil coco coir mix; as her roots were surfacing. So far so good. Atleast 20 budsites are visible and she has responded well to all the training and is coming into her stretch period. Now all we are waiting on is them white pistols to start shooting at the budsites. Hopefully week 6 will entail this! She should be at about half of her life span at this point. 4-5 weeks more of flower is expected before harvest.

Oh man am i excited to share my journey with my Purple Lemonade ff baby from Fast Buds. This girl is growing like a champ, and I'm just amazed by her progress in the first week! When it was time to transplant my plant, I decided to use Aptus Mycor Mix on the roots. Let me tell you, it was like giving my plant a magical boost! The mycorrhizal fungi in Aptus Mycor Mix formed a symbiotic relationship with the plant's roots, enhancing nutrient uptake and promoting overall plant health. It's truly amazing how nature works in harmony! Speaking of transplanting, Im so glad i opted for small fabric pots, and I'm loving the results. Fabric pots provide excellent aeration, preventing root-bound issues and allowing for better drainage. Plus, they're eco-friendly and reusable, which is a big plus for me as an environmentally conscious grower. Now let's talk about Aptus Holland Line for nutrition. I've always been a fan of organic and mineral-based nutrients, and Aptus Holland Line fits the bill perfectly. Their nutrient lines are carefully crafted with premium ingredients that are fully organic, ensuring my plant gets the best of both worlds. I love knowing that I'm feeding my plant with natural, sustainable, and effective nutrients that support healthy growth and i dont say this because they sponsor me , i am a long before user and believer , trust me on this one <3 <3 <3 And yes, you might have noticed some smoke in the background of my pictures. Well, let's just say I like to keep myself medicated while I tend to my green beauties. It's my way of staying relaxed and focused during the growing process, and it seems to be working wonders for my plants too! In conclusion, my Purple Lemonade fast flowering baby is thriving thanks to the transplanting methods using Aptus Mycor Mix, the benefits of fabric pots, and the organic and mineral-based nutrients from Aptus Holland Line. It's been an amazing journey so far, and I can't wait to see my baby continue to flourish. Happy growing, and cheers to a green and smoky adventure!

7/7/23 - Day 25 - Another water coming up tomorrow. She looks great. She is drinking so much water I have to add a ton of water every morning. 7/8/23 - Day 26 - The root is MASSIVE. This is a great sign that the plant has been doing well. The thing that gets me is how white the roots are. It's looking good for bud sites on the plant too. She has a ton of Cola areas forming now. I tried to count but lost track around 15+ cola areas, so when we move to Flower, I bet this gal gives me a ton of big buds. 7/9/23 - Day 27 - Every day, I wake up and get excited to see how much bigger she has gotten. The growth has been crazy, I've grown weed in the past, but it has never gone this well. I honestly spend 15 min a day on it. With this LEAF system, it's been super easy. The proof is in the pudding with this unit. Easiest weed I've ever grown. 7/10/23 - Day 28 - The growth is not slowing down. I refilled 1" of water to the pot today. This is the most water I have seen used in a day. Ideally, we would want to flip flowering when the plant has hit 12in. We are cutting it really close, actually, we are beyond what's rated for height. I'm going to Scrogg them some more and I would imagine Ill flip them to flowering very soon. 7/11/23 - Day 29 - Moving the tops around a bit, I'm trying to let it go as long as I can before flipping to flower.

Flowering day 52 since time change to 12 / 12 h Hey guys :-) All ladies look very healthy and delicious :-) We're slowly getting closer to the end. This week it was poured 3 times with 1.2 l each (sewing materials see table above) At the next watering there is a very light rinse with Clean Fruits so that the last nutrients can be slowly used up. The trichomes are now checked every day. I'm looking for my microscope with an app so I can take pictures of it ๐Ÿ‘.
