Chelated ready for week 9 cut diet should be amazing!! Look like might go week 9-1/2 or 10 to Finish flower Pulled her at the end of week 9 all pistols were red and all glands had white center and a few the clear part around the Whit was discoloring and I like my Sativas a bit clear headed will have harvest report in a week when dry she been washed and hung to dry

Easy to grow , no real problems . Was ready in 8 weeks but could have gone another at least . Next time I will flower for longer to see if there's much difference in that last week to ten days. You can find these beans at : Zamnesia.com 20%off code : ZAMMIGD2023

The plants look nice and healthy but they are not going to be monster plants. I gave the plant which is ahead in development some low dose nutrients this week to try and prolong its flowering a bit. I also defoliated a little bit as the fan leaves were blocking light access to some of the buds. Not sure whether it was a mistake.. let’s see 😀 I increased the light intensity to ca 640 umol/m2/s and raised the lights a bit to provide more even light to the canopy. The trichomes are already cloudy so I estimate that I can harvest in ca. 2 weeks. Hope the buds will still fatten up a bit.

These were taken on day 59 I was a little late to put gettin them up. I've been doing some heavy flushes on some of them cuz the run off ppm was a little high. I mixed these with soil so I dont know if that's why it's not coming down as quick as usual but I'll keep poundin these ladies til the cows come home

Was a good grow. Is dry and waiting on trimming. See Previous week for harvest video. They changed formats on me and was unaware. Thanks again AMS, especially Viparspectra for saving the plants. Emily is the hero here. 👍 Thank you again grow diaries community for the support I will get the smoke report on once I can clean it. Yes I know storing it in plastic is bad. Only thing I had available at the moment.

Athena for the win I know the Ogs goin on Plan with a defo on Day 21 from Switch but we reachin new ways and i switched from the normal schedule defo on Day 21 So what i did is short that period and instead of a Heavy defo and 🍭 on Day 21 i did the 🍭 on Day 14 and a slightly but good defo and on day 21 another not so Heavy defo so the shock for the Girls is not so Heavy like you make a Big defo and 🍭 on day 21!

Day 6---Adjusted ph of all plants, the big swell made it go acidic, added 5ml cal mag and 10ml soul big swell to plants 2 and 4, ppm over 1000. Day 5---Topped off big plant 2 and added adjusted ph of 2 and 4. Added 10ml soul big swell to all plants. Day 1---Topped off both big plants 2 and 4, some light defoliation. Week 8---Buds are continuing to develop on all plants as well as frost. Big plant 2 drinking a lot of water and 4 right behind it. Waiting to get soul big swell to add to them for flower hoping it works well.

The plants have continued to grow very fast this week, easily doubling in size again. I moved them closer to the light to 80 cm from 90cm. Watering as needed and I am keeping the soil surface moist with light watering twice a day. I fed some Biobizz Biogrow and some organic teas this week. Low stress training was very effective and the plant responded well except one which stated quite short. I will see if it bounces back or it may be stunted.

I am getting a noticeable smell now in my tent. To put it into perspective, it smells like someone is smoking weed in my tent all day. I am also giving the girls spring water, as our water is fairly hard and full of chlorine and they are coming on great. It's a little bit expensive but I'm finding the end justifies the means. I have started LST too. Perhaps a bit late but she is responding really well. By far this is the most enjoyable grow.

All 3 plants are adapting very well to LST, the shape its growing into have been allowing the light to reach further into the lower growth nodes and branches. I like to start bending the branches close to the main stem as early as week 3 of VEG. Now these 3 Northern Lights Auto seeds are from Sun West Genetics, they were all germinated, planted, trained, fed the same way they have been on the same controlled environment since day 1, the 3 are totally different, I know each plant is unique in its own way, but I find strange that 1 plant is taller and stronger than the other 2, the smaller one is growing weak leaves with signs of mutation, all 3 plants show signs of Magnesium deficiency, these 3 plants are sharing a grow tent with a Haze Auto from Seedsman, all 4 plants are under the same diet, the Haze have no signs of deficiencies or mutations, I guess that shows what good genetics look like. For the Magnesium deficiency I have mixed my own Epson salts into water and applied as a foliar spray, internet said the spray should be used every other week, wait 2 weeks to see results. Signs of Nutes burn, I decided to stop feeding for this coming week. The 3 NL leaves are looking unhappy, kind of clawing under, they look lifeless, I have ruled off a few potential problems such as: Wind Burn Under Watering Water PH Light Burn, just moved the QB higher to 17 inches from the highest canopy today. If any of you fellow growers have advice for the leaves, please let me know. Stay Lit folks 👩‍🌾🏻

Shes really coming a long small hiccup with either over or under watering. I'd say both despite the ac infinity self watering bases. I just wasnt sure how much water to give on top so I may have overdone it. All in all shes looking super frosty and smells amazing beautiful colors. I'm eagerly looking forward to toking on this one. Few more weeks at most I'd say she should be done. Check back next week to see just how fast she buds & remember its 4:20 somewhere!!!!!!

Not sure what's up with the 2 plants I decided to do this journal with. As my luck would go they are 2 of 3 critical purples that absolutely refuse to flower..Here is a side by side picture of what i mean. I have 5 of this strain and x3 are acting like any other photo I've grown. I took the liberty of super-cropping the 3 I mentioned, however my Gorilla Glue/GWS and x2 of the CP all seem on track and starting to stack up :) *DAY 64 - Deer or rabbits.... after my initial panic I discovered that they weren't hurt too badly

amended so there is enough for the plant to finish flowering. After the 3rd week they are really perking up and getting that fat structure on the buds. Starting to smell very danky. Can't wait to taste this one under these new grow conditions.

[ Information ] For all information on this grow, including strain and room details, please see the first week of veg. [ Updates ] Day 10 - Watered today, 1.2ec feeding of mainly organics (Fulvic/Humic, Kelp, Molasses, Big Bloom) with runoff. 6.8ph. Group one is stretching much harder due to plant density, I will be adding a net soon. Day 13 - Watered today with the nutrients listed for this week. 2.2ec at 6.5ph. 80gals total. Added a small dose of Open Sesame for the first time today as bud sites are starting to form on all plants. Added a net to Group 1 yesterday, I will add the nets for Group 2 in a couple days. Group 1 plants are 38-40 inches, group 2 plants are 32-34 inches. I may adjust net height, this isn't normally how I run a cycle; I'm trying a few different things side-by-side. The "one plant per square foot of canopy" group has consistently shown that even with a short veg period there is far too many wasted growth nodes on the sides of the canopy. The plants around the edge tend to branch out instead of up, as they're naturally trying to find sunlight. My last attempt at using these side branches with heavy topping of the middle nodes resulted in a higher yield, as expected as the light footprint was 5x5 instead of 4x4, which defeats the purpose of "one plant per square foot of canopy" anyways. A better test would have been to stunt the growth of all middle nodes enough to weave the side branches into the main canopy, though this seems to be a waste of time without much gain. I'm much happier with Group 2 which has 1 plant per 2 square feet of canopy space. While it also has side branching, the difference in height at the canopy level of the sides and middles are not nearly as different as Group 1, which means a more even light distribution without the need of a net. As overgrown as the room is getting, they still have 7-8 days before they're defoliated a final time.

It went pretty good this week (*I'm sorry because of ly work I could not take pictures this week so you have 2 videos*). I will not cut anymore branches before turn into flowering next week, normally it will be a 20 week grow from seed to budd I hope great results with this Cheese from Greenhouse Seeds Company :)

the growth is excellent. when i look at them i look to see either their gratefulness or their demands from me. When I see no demands. I consider everything is well. thanks everyone.
