week intel: its time for second pruning they grew up too fast and need second pruning as below : first i remove big fan leaves and only leaves then let them rest for 1 day then the second part of pruning will get done that is removing branches based on these conditions: 1-if the branch is very low and never can make it to the top , 2- if branch is in shade even after pruning fan leaves , 3- if there are too many branches at the small space then non of them will get resources so if there is no space for branch then , they must get remove. everything is perfect! stresses : pruning big fan leaves and lower branches + a little E.C stress around 1.7 once a week feeding: i feed them 3 times this week with this order : day 1 : i feed them heavy with silicate +base nutrients(calcium & micros + Bloom) about 884 ppm - 1.7 e.c to cause a little stress. day 3 : i feed them low dose of Feeding Booster + Karbo Boost around 325 ppm - 0.6 e.c to let them recover a little but not fully recover still a little stress will caused. day 5 : i feed them with low dose of Top-Max + B-52 around 213 ppm - 0.4 e.c to let them recover the stresses to get ready for another stress next week. guide of the week : no more stresses from now on till the end and from next week i'll reduce the amount of nitrogen and calcium to below half to the end.

The substrate maybe got a little hot after the last top feed so won't be adding any more probably this grow! That's my best guess for the mottling on the leaves and crispy ends - as the ends are curling up rather than straight. That's my tip for telling whether it's over- or under-fed or another issue. I'm pH testing every drop she gets (and giving between 6-6.5), so I don't believe it's lockout from a pH issue. She's getting a proper wet-dry cycle. Must be too many nutes. I flushed her yesterday and will continue with straight up water. Hasn't affected overall growth though- the buds are starting to bulk up, trichs continue to show themselves, and the smell 👌👌 it's like honey and citrus. Veeeery excited for this one ;)

Getting bushy

New under canopy lights are here and finally in! I know it's a late addition to this grow, but cannot wait to see how this affects the lowers and yield!

The ladies gain a good size Elizabeth look ready to enter flowering This strain grow really fast😲 from now I try to push them with 24h light on😈 let's see if both start flowering this week👌 -------------------------- UPDATE DAY 25: (finally i've a decent camera so you'll see better pics from now) Got some trubble yesterday morning, Elizabeth started silcing from the topped part 😟 (probably due to excessive lst). Luckly she didn't even noticed it 😅 (i've fix it as soon as i found it out), she continue her road on flowering. While Irene probably will start in next 2-3 days. So next week we should start with flowering. P.s. already started developing a very nice smell👌 next week i'll probably start a time-lapse for flowering

WEEK 10 - 25/9/2021 - 1/10/2021 30/9/2021 - No major issues these past week. Plant 1,2 and 3 responding really well to scrogging. The original purpose of the net was to support the buds actually. But since the net is in place, I thought it would make more sense  to use the opportunity to bring the 3 plants to the same level as plant 4. Despite that, plant 4 still has trouble catching up and plant 1-3 just stretched like crazy. Plant 1-3 have started flowering and stretching. Not plant 4 though. No signs of stigmas yet. Weird genetics. Been having issues since germination. Major defoliation done for all plants. Sucker branches removed and LST readjusted. Complete res change done. 30 gallons of water mixed with the following: Liquid Silicon - 1ml/gal - 30ml Cal-Mag - 2.5ml/gal - 75ml Micro - 3.5ml/gal - 105ml Gro - 2.5ml/gal - 75ml Bloom - 3.5ml/gal - 105ml Hydroguard - 2ml/gal - 60ml pH - 6.12 EC - 1.21 mS/cm T - 24.5

Moving the light schedule to 12.5hrs on on the way to 13hrs on by week 5. I'm super happy with the growth, though the flowers are about half the size as it's pot-mate's.

Last run of the growing season. Biscotti Mintz by Barney's Farm. I wasn't satisfied with the last crop's yield so i wanted another crack at it. This time I'm armed with a digital Lux meter so i can better dial in the light without the guesswork. Looking to start the clones off with between 5000 and 7000 LUX at the canopy. But i didn't like the brightness at 8000 so i upped it to 15,000 Lux. I think the 5k to 8k Lux recommendations for clones was for clones in the process of rooting. Recommended Lux values for vegging plants is between 15,000 and 50,000 Lux. They were very lanky with long internodal spacing which I thought might be insufficient lighting. Because the other Biscotti Mintz grows and research i've done, shows a very bushy indica trait growth pattern. So either i have a shitty pheno, or my lighting wasn't good enough. I'm guessing it was the light because preliminary testing with the Lux meter showed that my canopy was quite under lit last run. Again using 3 gallon pots, this time i am crossing my fingers with the substrate because it is reused coco that i washed and buffered myself. I've never done this before so i have no idea what's going to happen. For all i know they will all be dead in a few days lol. Anyways, i tested the coco pH last night, and after buffering with 2x strength calmag and soaking the coco in a 6.0 pH for 48 hours, the pH is sitting around 6.8 in the coco. Not where I wanted it, but it's doable. I believe the coco brand new out of the bag measures at 6.8 so... I will be watering in 6.0 pH to try to achieve a balance. Treating the roots before planting with Azos and dusting the planting hole with Mykos. The nutrient solution is very mild to start off. About 450ppm. Hygrozyme will be added to the mix and watered in to help break down the old dead root matter that wasn't able to be sifted out of the coco. The cellulase will break those roots down into usable food for the plant to uptake, and clean up the dead roots at the same time. Hygroben will also be added because i have some left from the last crop. And after seeing the results of using bacteria, i'm pretty sold on using it. Today is March 4th, 2024. I like to start on the first of the month but i like starting on Monday's better for keeping my weed soaked brain organized a little easier. I'm thinking to do half strength doses 2x per week instead of full doses 1x per week. It's twice the mixing, but that's ok. There will be 7 plants in total, and the experiment i am running this time, for anyone that wants to check out, is 1 of the plants i will do a seriously severe defoliation on while leaving the rest untouched. And we'll see how it plays out yield wise. I'm sure of the outcome already, but I'm tired of the babbling dummies all over the place that preach fan leaves fan leaves... So we shall see! I had the pH of the nutrient solution set to 6.0 but after adding the enzyme and liquid bacteria, the pH dropped to 5.78, so beware of that if you use those products, even though they claim not to affect the pH. The light dimmer is set to 6 of 10. The clip fan is set to 2 of 10. Temps set to 74F and humidity set to 70% humidity. The light is 18 inches from the canopy at a dimmer setting of 6, which gives the canopy 15,000 Lux. Each plant was gently watered with about 300ml of nutrient solution, which was carefully and gently dispensed with a 140CC syringe Hope they like what i've done with the place lol. P.S. I realized that the 5000 to 7000 Lux was for clones that are rooting. So I had the lux at 12,000 at 18 inches from the plants at a dimmer value of 5. I've now upped the dimmer to 6. Tomorrow i'll check the lux and see where it's at. The clones have just come out of the dome today so i don't want to push them too aggressively too fast. MARCH 5, 2024 I just tested the Par light reading on BM #1 and the BM right in the center. BM #1 Par reading is 247. Center plant is 270. Light dimmer is at 6 and light is now 13 inches from plant canopy. MARCH 9, 2024 Fed again today. There is some progress in growth. 1/2 inch increase. The clones have been upset getting adjusted to their new environment. I've upped the dimmer to 7 and the PPFD and DLI numbers are good. Humidity remains set at 70% and temperature is set to trigger the fan at 78F Light remains where it was so the plants have grown 1/2 so the light will be 12 inches above the canopy. Mixed up 2 liters of nutrients and the ppm was 555, and the pH was adjusted to 6.15. 2ml Per liter of hygrozyme and hygroben were also added. Clones have curled leaves and a perky/droopy stature. The leaf edges are browning a little bit. I'm not sure whats happening with them other than it's just the effects of transplanting and drastic environmental change. What i'm wondering is how they will/are reacting to the used coco underneath? We press on with fingers crossed! 🙏😁

Hello Growers and Tokers! You ready to sail off into green space in search for some cosmic snacks? This run we'll be taking a look at the Miracle Alien Cookies (MAC) from PEV Seeds. The search is starting off a bit rocky only one of the seeds sprouted so let's make the most of it! Strain description from breeder: Miracle Alien Cookies looks like a cannabis plant coming from another world. It is the paradigm of modern cannabis breeding, a variety that represents everything we want to find in our weed: power, flavor, production, speed and a number of extraterrestrial trichomes. It arose from the combination of an Alien Cookies F2 with the cross between a Colombian and the great Starfighter. In its ancestors we can find the mythical Alien Technology twice, as it is part of both the Alien Cookies and the Starfighter. Its flowering time indoors and outdoors can be considered standard. Indoors usually blooms and matures in about 9 weeks, being able to advance or delay the harvest depending on your preferences regarding the effect. The aroma reminds you of the orange sweets, as it mixes a base of cookie dough with a deep orange background that feels like eating rather than burning. Its taste is citric and sweet, with earthy touches that beg you for more and more… This is the typical effect of balanced hybrids, but raised to its maximum expression. Even if you have a high tolerance to cannabis, you may find it too potent. It rises like a pure sativa, speeding up your heartbeat and thoughts, but the high comes with a significant body charge, so it keeps you awake but relaxed. Genetic Background: MAC S1 (Alien Cookies x (Colombian x Starfighter)) Type: Feminized Sativa 50% Indica 50% THC: 25% CBD: 0.8% CBG: 0,01% Yield Indoor : 500 - 600 gr/m2 Height Indoor: 120 - 140 cm Height Outdoor: 180 - 230 cm Flowering time: 9 - 10 weeks Harvest Month: Mid October Expectations and training method: Expecting nothing but greatness from this strain. I’ve had the chance to smoke this strain before so I know what the final result should be like, let’s hope she comes out proper. Plan to top and LST, widen her out and try to yield a bit more than I’m expecting which is roughly 40 grams. I’m thinking she’ll be a bit picky with the feeding and training so I’ll try to take it easy so she doesn’t stress out on me..

Week 8 Looking absolutely huge😂 They’re so tall and wide . Lots of healthy green leaves and strong roots. I was worrying a lot about sex issues as when I did my research I found out they’re quite common to hermaphrodite. Was really worrying but all calyx’s have female signs (so far🙏🏻) so pray for me brothers&sisters.

Plant is doing great, loving the nutrients, loving the light. Grown under Mars TS600

The little one smells like a big one :D End of the week its time for harvest the purple lady. The Trichomheads looking good but I want a little bit more amber. So we see how they looking on the next sunday. Otherwise she will get a bit more time. Nothing to say, everything goes on. Day 78 Photoshooting

budding up nicely now. One pheno looks to be growing different bud formations and is much more frosty. O stupidly didn't take a cut of this in veg so I've taken a flower cut to reveg and try monstercropping.

7 week of flowering.. Cockies kush leafs beutifull coloring from red to purple.. critical full of resin.. two more weeks i think🙂

After harvesting this plant, I will be drying in a 60% R.H for the next ten to fourteen days. After drying I will be curing the buds in the grove bags!

These babies are behaving exactly how I want them to. So far no signs of preflowers at all, this is good because my light is farther away than I’d like and AVT is still finishing up in the tent and she creates shade. So they haven’t been growing as fast but they are looking healthy and happy, I’m sure they’ll take off in growth once they get the entire light and space. I topped Pink Kush on day 23 above the 5th node and I pruned the first node as these never really make great stems for big buds. In the next day or two I’ll top the other three ladies and prune first node as well.

03/13/2021 Side branches are developing nice, I may do a little more lst to help lower tops to catch up before flowering starts Ps. Couple videos uploaded Day #6 doing some bending, and broke a branch off so I dipped in rooting powder,threw it in some vermiculite soaked with Bonide Garden Rich Root & Grow 4-10-3 with (IBA) Lets see if she will root! Fingers crossed🙏

Unas cuantas moscas de sustrato obligaron a regar con aceite de neem y jabón potasico, la planta estresasa sigue creciendo bien incluso es más alta que la otra aunque sigue teniendo un color más claro.
