26.12.24: I have noticed light stress on my plants. I had moved the lights further away and increased the light intensity to 70%. Unfortunately that created some issues. Namely severe palour of the leaves. To try and rectify the situation, I've dimmed the lights to about 30%, staying at the same distance, about 30 inches away. I measured the par levels, after I did this. They should a reading of anywhere between 40 and 150, at the canopy of the plants. They are all different sizes. This seems to have improved the colouring on all plants. After this evenings watering, I will monitor recovery and increase lighting intensity again slowly. I am also using the light cycle of 21/3, so the plants have many hours more light to absorb, than for example 12/12 or 18/6. I am pleased with the progress, considering all of my mistakes! 29.12.24: So I finally gave LST a shot, it's probably a bit too late, however I really want to get the most of the triploid pheno, and I went a little crazy and LST'd all plants except 2, as they're too small. I did that late last night, this afternoon I was amazed to see the plants turn their leaves back to the light source. I'm glad I overcame my fear of trying it. I'm very excited to see them adapt and progress! 😁 there are videos above with before and after of my LST process. Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

Not much to say this week so I did a few videos... B.A.C. schedule goes on : flowering week 4. Changed clones' tutors for taller ones and used them with mother plant to reshap it to fit perfectly with clones. They are still from 60 to 70 cm, mother is 65 cm : no height change since last week and I can clearly see flowers growing under pistils, stretch is officialy done.😀 03/28 : I lollipopped mother plant (maybe too gently). Clones grow faster with bigger buds and much more trichromes on sugar leaves, but mother plant keep on growing too, despite all mutilations she suffered. She may finish a few weeks after her clones... whatever, it's for fun!

Getting ready to chop her down today. She's been in the dark a few days now...what a beast tho. Not sure ill be able to trim her entire plant and hang whole due to how big she is.. Update: Harvest complete. 2#8oz. She did foxtail on me, but I guess that's what happens when you let her grow and grow 😆. She's a huge unruly Medusa.. I expected nothing less!! Lol 😂😂00

Quite a sad run to be honest, but it's all due to bad decisions on my side. I decided to top her and even though she seemed to take it well, it might have triggered something. She also was a stretcher with such a large inter-nodal space that I didn't find necessary to defoliate anything and I didn't remove any budsites. The result was a ton of small popcorn buds. And to not help, I waited way too long before giving her nutes, thinking I could do all the run without using any but even when I started giving her some, the schedule was close to being improvised. I would normally have given her more time to flower but a space problem in the tent caused me to chop her down prematurely, still with a majority of cloudy trichomes and some amber ones. I would definitely redo some stuff but she still outputted some very decent flowers, effect and taste wise because let's be real, they look terrible, almost like seaweed. I'd love to retry this strain.

The room smells like sweet citrus. This grow was pretty easy but I was expecting a higher yield. Overall she was a good plant! Now time to fire up the curing chamber.

She is definitely performing. I can smell her on approach. The weather does not look too promising for the next 72 hours…hoping for the best this post full moon rain.

Tag 63: Die Green Gelato entwickelt sich wie im Bilderbuch. Sie hat sich nicht zu sehr gestreckt. Ich muss wohl kaum was weg nehmen außer unten ein paar helle Blätter 😁 Tag 67: Hatte heute die Erleuchtung! Ich gieße ausschließlich mit Britta gefiltert Wasser, was wohl auch schon das ein oder andere Mal zu Kalzium und Magnesium Mangel geführt hat. Was sich aber erst bei Cookies Gelato (grow 32) so deutlich gezeigt hat. Ich stelle nun langsam auf Leitungswasser um.

Day 29 - 13/6 13/6 - General: Another week starts for #3. She looks strong and vigorous, produces a different kind of foliage when compared to #1. Regarding the heating and RH problems, after a full morning and afternoon working inside the grow and outside, they're finally solved now. I didn't have the thermo-hygrometer in the right place, and made some adjustments in the setup that brought me back to desired values. Having the fans in the right place and speed and the same with extractor made all difference. Techniques: Just got everything tighten up, tomorrow will have a big training day. Feeding: Gave her the week 6 biobizz schedule. Tomorrow will do the same and maybe from monday will start going over, depending on her response. Smell: She rocks! when it comes to this subject, she's really different from #1. Funny how different they can be coming in the same package. I wonder if topping the plant had any influence... Temps and RH recorded today: 30c - 18c 63% - 28% Pests and plagues: Nothing to record. Day 30 - 14/6 General: Another day goes by, and she keeps growing. Starts to pre-flower. Today during some training, accidentally broke a little one, which is always sad. Anyways, start to think I have a nice couple plants to make a SCRoG, and will eventually consider it during the week, while the plant grows. May be a nice way to support the weight if needed. Techniques: Today i start bending everything around, to make a spiral. Let's see tomorrow how it responds to it. Took some extra foliage that was on the way, covering other budsites. She really grows leaves fast! Feeding: Nothing today. The pot looked heavy enough to skip a day. There'll be more coming tomorrow. Smell: Bam! Opening the tent equals to getting a weed breeze straight in the face. It's really the smell you wanna feel coming from a cannabis plant. Great smell. I'm in love with it. Temps and RH recorded today: 30c - 18c 87% - 30% Pests and plagues: Nothing to record. Day 31 - 15/6 General: The pre flowering stage is more evident, and one of the bigger signs is the way she's starting to grow foliage and size. Definitely different phenotypes this 2 ladies. Today didn't touch the plant at all, been just around the tent trying still to get the perfect environment, which is not being that easy task to accomplish. Got it going very well, steady temp and RH (25 celsius, 45%) until the afternoon when the high temperatures outside thrown the temperature values to the 30c for some minutes. Techniques: Just checked everything out. Nothing done in this area. Feeding: The medium looks good enough to skip a day on the feeding. The pot feels heavy enough to wait at least 12+ hours. Smell: With the increase of the heat and RH going down, the smell got a bit more intense, bringing all the good stuff from this fine plant. What a weed puch you get in your nose when you approach. Smelling her makes me smile and wonder how it'll be if we make it until the end. Temps and RH recorded today: 30c - 19c 71% - 36% Pests and plagues: Nothing to record. Day 32- 16/6 General: Enormous growth of new foliage. It's everywhere! If it keeps going like this, some of that extra foliage will go down over the weekend. After 48h without watering, today was time to feed her again. Was expecting her to drink more than it did. It's the second day I don't touch the plants, and will keep this way until tomorrow, when I'll just rearrange her a bit. Techniques: Just checked everything out. Nothing done in this area. Feeding: Same feeding you can see above. Going heavier in the next days. Smell: I have the impression some days and sometimes it has much more smell than other times. Weird. Today was a low smell day, which is always disappointing to me as I love to feel that unique smell they have. Temps and RH recorded today: 29c - 21c 60% - 38% Pests and plagues: Nothing to record. Day 33- 17/6 General: She keeps growing foliage at a very high rhythm. In the weekend she'll be defoliated and re-adjust a little the stems. She looks much more Indica compared to her Sativa looking sister. I'm still amazed with the different phenotypes. Finally get a hold on temps and RH, which makes me super happy. Today I'll delay the feeding for 12h, fastening her for 36h. Techniques: Just checked everything out. Nothing done in this area. Feeding: No feeding today. Smell: Quite powerful for her age, really strong smell coming from this little one. Temps and RH recorded today: 28c - 21c 64% - 36% Pests and plagues: Nothing to record. Day 34- 18/6 General: Another day has passed, not much to tell about this one. She stinks, she got big fat leaves, massive amount compared to her older #1 sister. Starts to drink more water than #1 soon, the foliage color isn't as green as #1, which makes me wonder if I'm giving her too many nutes for the time being. Besides that, she really needs training and a nice defoliation to get her going. Techniques: Just checked everything out. Nothing done in this area. Feeding: She's a drinker. Same strains, soil and everything and how can they be so different? Anyways, she had the nutes mentioned on the chart. Smell: Quite powerful for her age, really strong smell coming from this little one. The whole tent smell to it, and it's quite pleasant on the nose. Get a lot of tropical aromas, almost like a pineapple/mango/passion fruit mix. It's the exact opposite of #1 that has this earthy/woody smell, like when it starts raining. Temps and RH recorded today: 28c - 21c 50% - 40% Pests and plagues: Nothing to record. Day 35- 19/6 General: Accentuated growth this last few days. She's very bushy and growing upward very vigourously. Leaves are looking great, she's drinking good amounts of water, and looks like it'll take her longer to flower than her older sister. We'll wait and see. Techniques: Just checked everything out. Nothing done in this area. Feeding: Normal feed, nothing new here. Smell: She's still the queen of the tent when it comes to this topic. Temps and RH recorded today: 28c - 22c 50% - 34% Pests and plagues: Nothing to record.

All is going well I week 8! Caramelino smelling fantastic! Northern lights got harvested! Like I said,I am disappointedin my NL clone as far as yield goes.But not disappointedin terps and thricomes. I am learning. NL started to develop nanners on the very bottom buds. I found only 3 nanners. And took them off. I also didn't really flush NL. My noob mistake but she was ready at week 7 for harvest! Caramelinolooks fantastic,nice sized buds, super nice and strong terps and very nice looking buds!Super excited for this lady! Started last week with her flush. Well see what happens. Peace

I've been away for a week, leaving my tent in the care of a friend. Coming back I was surprised to see how much bud growth has occurred, as you can see colas are really starting to stack up, and trichromes are already appearing. AK48 seems to have some purple coloration creeping in on her buds which is really beautiful, just hard to capture as my led throws a purple hue on my photos in the first place. Today I spent two hours trimming leaves from the tent and have kept the airflow at a healthy level. Happy at how everything is looking, and at only three weeks into flowering she seems really promising. Stay tuned!
