Week 2 of flower 👍🏾

Hey! Welcome to week 8! Karen is mid way through her flowering stretch. Please check back to last week as I update daily so the week is now complete. I count about 20 colas now. Day 51: Have reconfigured the tent, see video. Karen is now 36cm and still stretching. Karen has more light now. Smell is still there hits you when you open the tent. Fertigated 2l. Day 52: Height: 39cm. Karen's scent is heavenly. I have reconfigured again and installed some upgrades. Better reflector. Much bigger carbon filter. Increased airflow. Better config. More efficient pot layout. Karen is lovely. I am grateful to her and for her, so I wrote her a little poem, I hope she liked it. "Karen! Oh Karen! The phoenix of flowers, Three lowly weeks she struggled in vain, Shadowed and starved for five hundred hours, He slowly wept to witness her pain. Karen! Oh Karen! I P-H'd your showers, and in the fourth week you started to gain, Hallowed and hard you survived as you cowered, I thought you meek, I was wrong once again. Karen! Oh Karen! Forgave me my howlers. She set a pace, a pace she maintained, Now shes a girl at the peak of her powers, And so I'm a geek, with buds on the brain." Day 53: Approx 48h into a simulated dry spell. Alright I think it is time for Karen to get her first MAJOR defoliation. I will update shortly with photos and info. I will also be doing some gentle LST to separate the colas a bit. Day 53.5: Defoliation and LST. Finally got chance to photograph that bunda. Enjoy! Day 53.75: Bit of a fail. Messed up the timer and the lights ended up being off for about 3 or 4 hours. Because I was cooling the room (open window) to keep temperature in the tent down, without any light the temperatures absolutely plummeted as it is sub-zero outside. By the time I realised and turned the lights on, the temp in the main tent had dropped to 14 degrees celsius. Whoops! How is that for mistreating your girl? Defoliated about 80% of her leaves, 4 nodes, significant LST, then stuck her in the cold and dark for 1/6 of a day. Not to mention she is now almost 3 days into a "dry spell". There do not seem to be ill effects, and Karen has already begun to respond to the LST; all the colas that had been changed in angle are now upright again. The dry spell I keep mentioning, there is a method behind my madness, I have spotted one or two small flies and I think they may be fungus gnats. I am starting to suspect that the 2nd seedling in the Purple OG Punch Auto grow was actually beheaded by fungus gnat larvae. So I am drying out the mediums as much as I dare. I am closely monitoring the plants, so far the only one I have had to break the drought for is Enigma; all the girls in big pots haven't even noticed it's dry yet. How far am I going to push it? Well I will judge it on a plant by plant basis, but quite honestly I am hoping to see physical signs of thirst before I breakdrought. Of all the plants the two I think will respond most strongly to this will be Karen and Bertha, because of where they are. Karen here is actually probably 4 weeks into flowering rather than two, so about now is a good time to give her a little hydration stress. I do not think I will push it past 5 days, as RH is 34%. By now all the plants will be compensating for the lack of moisture and the high temperatures and low humidity. They will be taking more and more moisture out of the coco, and as the coco dries further and further down, those plants that have space will start desperately growing roots to find moisture. Mark my words, 24 hours after I end this drought, every plant in the tent will throw out crazy growth. Day 54: Ended drought and fertigated 6l, no run off, I will re-fertigate tomorrow. Karen is still stretching her height post LST is now 37cm. The two tallest colas seem to have stopped but the other colas are still stretching. Day 55: Alright so it has been 5 hours since lights on, and Karen is looking in good shape, all her drooping leaves have perked back up and she has added quite a bit of foliar growth. The colas are all still rising, except perhaps the two tallest. This girl is absolutely loaded with pistils, I'm starting to see trichomes on the sugar leaves, but trich production hasn't started in earnest yet. She has a least 20 colas, and 6 of them are thicker/taller than the primary cola at her tip. Every one of her nodes has reinforced itself with a bulbous growth and these cola branches are swelling rapidly. I am increasingly of the opinion that, all being well, this girl is going to surprise us all with her yield. My first grow, which was just mucking about really, I got 60-70g of the two main plants, and they were just bare sticks with 2 colas. Although her height is less than theirs was, 2/3 of their height was bare stick... whereas every mm of her is befoliaged and living. So in terms of the height of the actual cola I think they were about comparable in usable space on a per cola basis. The main difference being that Karen has 20+ colas whereas they had 2 primary and 2 lower. I know that it is probably unrealistic to expect more than 70g from a single auto grown indoors. Nevertheless my gut tells me this baby could achieve at least 100g, perhaps as much as 150g. The next few weeks will determine that, but given where we were in week 3 I will be grateful for any yield of quality bud. I have dropped the lights down to 18/6 from 'tonight' onwards. I really have no idea how long we have left for Karen. According the the "brochure" she flowers for 7-8 weeks, with a total crop time of 9 weeks. The problem is I don't know what a total crop time is? Does that mean from seed to finish? If so Karen is clearly not going to be anywhere near that timescale.I am going to go ahead an assume that, for my plant anyway, the first 4 weeks were veg weeks. I think it is fair to count week 5 and 6 as flowering because pistils were popping out very early in week 5 if not before. So that makes this week four of flowering. I am going to assume 8 weeks rather than 7, so I think we have another 4 full weeks give or take a week. On that basis I am expect harvest week to be around week 12 or so. I am not fixed on this though, I am determined not to harvest this girl early. Day 55: Photos taken 00:00 9/3/23 Strong 24h of veg growth as predicted. Day 56: Existing leaves continue to swell. Stretch appears to be slowing. I've taken so many media this week that I cannot scroll down far enough to select a recent thumbnail. Probably Karen's biggest week in terms of changes. She is looking like she is going to impress. Height 39cm.

Bro’s first grow, he’s made a decent DIY Aero/Hydroponic system the girl is coming along great with. A few issues with temps an seemed she got a little growth stun in her early weeks all good now though she’s just coming into flower and is looking good. Happy growing peeps 👍 🌱

This Canuk lady has been a GEM! It’s just about time to cut this girl down. She’s been a very nice plant to grow! I’ve just been giving her plain water for awhile now so she is yellowing out and fattening up! She will be coming down this weekend I’m guessing 😀 I will definitely run this genetic again! Pure gold! 😎🍿

These ladies are starting to show their true colors and smells...exciting times ahead

today Day 22 and Hilde still goes well 🙏 Speedrun video 21 Days 😉 Day23 was cloudy an alot of rain 😩 Day24 was cloudy and alot of rain 😳 Day25 there was sun and not too hot 🙏 Day26 in the afternoon a really sunny day but it started cloudy and rainy oh lord 😯

Week 7 from seed

Woche 3 der Blüte kommt morgen zum Ende… 🌷🌺 Soweit haben sie sich extrem gut gestreckt und Bio Masse aufgebaut. Stamm kommt photoperiodischen am Ende der Blüte nah, deutet darauf hin, dass es der Pflanze super geht, sieegr als genügend Nährstoffe zur Verfügung hat und anstatt Stämme bauen zwei der Ladys einfach Rohrsysteme auf 😆 die angezeigten Äste sind teilweise so dick wie bei anderen die ganze Pflanze 🌱 Terps sind super Candy, eine Streckt sich komischerweise immer noch, war ein Spätzündung, dafür meiste Bio Masse von allen. 3 blühen bereits gut, eine davon lässt tatsächlich mit der Trichomproduktion auf sich warten, wieso keine Ahnung aber interessant zu beobachten 😄

On the 15/10 it was my fifth day in a row without any more signs of pollensacks or nanas! It really is worth the try is you think, you got something special on your hands. If you can, better isolate it anyways, I just didn't have the room for this. Everything else also going great and the Double Dunked is starting to show why this run is called "Purple Beauties". From now on every week was going to blow my mind on just how beautiful this grow could turn out. Also did some defoliation again

It’s been a long time. Hiiii, hope you’re well ?🙀 06-27-26. Popped the bean into a cup of happy frog soil. Sprayed it with some water & sprayed a sandwich bag and topped the cup. Opened it a couple times a day to let in fresh air. I clearly pulled my usual noob shit and didn’t put the seed deep enough. We have helmet head. Oh no! I put a drop of water on the shell and covered the cup back with the baggie. Hoping the humidity helps her wiggle out. I have faith. If not I’ll try and get it off later.. and hope I don’t kill it lol. I’m going to use 2 different soils. If you wondered what was going on with substrate list. For seed starting I used happy frog because it’s not hot enough to burn the little baby. On transplanting, I’ll be using the Coast of Maine. Never used it before. Hope it’s nice. I included information down below for you if you’re interested. 👇 Z42 is a limited-edition F1 hybrid created from a carefully selected Z3 (Terphogz) and Candy Fumez (Bloom Seed Co.), both phenotypes hunted in-house for vigor, structure, visual appeal, and, most importantly, exceptional terpene expression. The Z3 parent comes from a seed run sourced directly from Terphogz several years ago, where only one standout phenotype was selected and preserved. The Candy Fumez was chosen after a large in-house hunt of around 50 plants from Bloom Seed Co., keeping only the loudest and most expressive female. The cross was made this Summer in a small batch and immediately stood out for its strong hybrid vigor and outstanding aromatic profile. Z42 develops medium-to-tall plants with solid branching and produces dense, resin-heavy flowers covered in thick frost, finishing in around 8–9 weeks.The terpene profile delivers loud Z candy sweetness layered with tropical fruit, creamy sherbet tones, and a smooth sweet fuel finish, a rich candy gas expression that translates clearly from aroma to smoke. Released as a true small-batch F1 with no large-scale reproduction planned, Z42 is a collector’s drop designed for boutique growers, pheno hunters, and terp lovers looking for rare, flavor-driven genetics. When it’s gone, it’s gone.

Microscopic week indeed since my microscope arrived. Dunno why I ordered something from the local store but that was definetly the last time. The thing came with a install cd. And that would not be so bad besides the fact that I had to manually configure the files to work on win10. O yeah it does not run on my mac since it doesnt have a cd reader. Old pc is pretty old so it just freezees from time to time and I have to restart it about 2-3 times for every photo session 🤪 Anyway the thing does the job. Photos came out pretty decent. Also cut on half the watering amount. And still havent PHed it. So far it works and plants seem to enjoy it. Now every 2 days is a photoshoot to not miss the perfect spot. With the first time its pretty hard though.

Ottime genetiche con qualche pecca però poca stabilità nel gusto centrale e tende a piegarsi per il peso delle foglie. Hanno lo stesso trattamento delle mendocino e loro sono molto più in salute

Lots of foliage growth over the last week. Not much height growth though. Little sister is now nearly twice the height of her but with much less foliage. Not sure if the height thing is something i should be worried about. Ive only got a 60cm x 60cm x 140cm grow space for 2 plants so short plants would be great, so long as they still produce a decent crop.

Hello everyone and welcome back to my diary. Tomorrow marks the end of the fourth week of growth for Titan F1. I don't think the plant is ready to flower yet and I think it needs at least another week to grow. Only time will tell if I'm right or not. This week has been quiet, but we have two important updates. 1) At the beginning of the week, I gave it some care and removed a few leaves that I thought were unnecessary. A bit of defoliation. Like 6/7 leaves removed. 2) Today, it had some more maintenance, this time more intensive. I removed two excess leaves and applied the LST technique for the first time. Honestly, I enjoyed modifying the pot to accommodate the holes where the string would be attached. To tell the truth, this low-cost adventure is becoming interesting, and I am having a lot of fun doing it and experimenting. To tell the truth, my LST seems a bit aggressive and excessive, but we'll see in the next few days how the plant decides to respond and react to the LST. Maybe it will die, hahaha. During this week, and reading other diaries for comparison, I determined that my plant is NOT drinking enough water. The problem arises because I am unable to determine how much water is left in the soil/pot. So today I decided to use a little cunning and weigh the pot when it was completely dry and then again after I watered it. I watered it with about 1050/1100 ml of water mixed with its weekly dose of nutrients. This time there was excess water, resulting in excess dripping. In the final weighing after watering and after the excess water had drained away, the final weight increased by about 720/730 grams. The water I added was around 1050 grams. So 75% of the water remained in the soil. Dry it was 4400 grams, wet it reached 5120 grams. I don't know if this is good or not, I hope the plant is doing well. In the meantime, I have ordered a device that allows me to check several parameters in the soil, such as moisture, acidity and other things that are important to us growers. I feel like a child at Christmas :). I also bought a pH meter for the water, as mine broke and I had to buy another one, and I haven't been able to check the acidity levels for the last two waterings. I hope it doesn't bother the plant too much and that it continues to grow. I've deduced that it drinks little because I'm forced to water it practically once a week. I expected it to consume more water, especially in its current pre-flowering phase. The new device on its way will help me keep all the parameters under control: the soil, the plant, the temperature, the water levels, the humidity and a few other things I can't remember. Everything should be ready next week. The lamp is on full power all the time, at 100% with a 24/0 cycle, 7 days a week. The plant has reached 20 centimetres in height. I wonder if this LST will keep it small. I have some space issues, so I can't let it grow too tall, which is why I'm using LST. Otherwise, everything seems to be going well, I hope I'll be able to smoke this one. Thanks everyone, see you next week with new updates, who knows, maybe it will start flowering :)
