1st day of week 4 Mixed the Soil mix that will be feeding these girls throughout the rest of their lives. Will let it rest for 1-2 weeks before selecting the final top 4 to go into the 10 gallon pots. Water fed 2 cups of plain water to all today Rolled lighting schedule back to 16-8. Getting my girls 8 hours of sleep a night Increased light intensity to 550 W Day 23 Water fed 2 cups of water with silica added Foliar fed with fish fertilizer and silica Day 24 Water fed with water + mychoriza + beneficial bacteria Day 25 Pruned lower leaves and nodes as needed for better air flow and light penetrative. Gotta get these girls to put all their focus in cranking out new nodes now for the next few weeks to fill up the tent space for flowering. Looking for the top 4 with the most impressive smell, vigor and structure Also water fed 2 cups each again today. They are needing fed every day almost now cause they are out growing the 1 gal pots. Transplanting will need to happen within the next fee days. Day 26 Eliminated 1 Kosher Kush and 1 Double Stuffed Sorbet transplanted last half gallon pot (Blueberry 6) water fed 1 cup of water to all foliar fed with fish fert + cal mag Last day of week 4: I fed 1 cup of water and then super cropped most. Some got LST stakes. Kind of had a little regret after super cropping most. Next run I will do zero lst or hst training. Just grow them to 24 inches (6 weeks) then move to final pots and put in trellis net 12" over top of pot thereby allowinh the the trellis net to gently fold over the top 8-12" of the plants, creating the same training effect but with no stalling of growth. Train them into the net for final 2 weeks of veg and for the 1st week or 2 of flowering.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••• Oct. 24 - Oct. 30 •••••••••••••••••••••••••• 👩‍🌾 SOWED: Aug. 9th 🕛 12/12 START : Oct.1st 🗓️ WEEK 5 of FLOWERING 🏁 ESTIMATED FINISH: Dec. 3rd •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• WEEKLY SUMMARY: •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 🙋‍♀️Fo' Twenny here!🙋‍♀️ Back with this week's update on our mostly Indica 🔵🔵 BLUEBERRY cultivar bred by DUTCH PASSION SEEDS! I am trying a new format for the weekly summary portion of my diary. Let me know what ya'll think! 👃 AROMA: Her aroma is fairly strong for this stage of flower. Blueberry dankness all the way! I look forward to experiencing the evolution of her terpine profile. One of my favorite aspects of growing cannabis is how much these plants change from start to finish and how much variation is possible with this plant. ❇️ BUD STRUCTURE: She is stacking on big round mounds of calyxes and looks like she is going to have large dense buds! 🎨 Color: She is a lighter almost an olive shade of green, right now. Her bright white pistils have a distinctive yellow hue to them. 🌿 STEM, STRETCH, & INTERNODES: She stretched more than I had expected. She has thick stems and relatively tight internodal growth. She definitely looks Indica in her bud structure. ✂️ TRAINING/PRUNING: I have continued selective defoliation as needed to avoid crowding herself and her neighbors. I remove no more than 25% of foliage at any one time, and usually closer 10-15%. I space out defoliation with a minimum of 3 days between sessions, in most instances. There will be exceptions to that, but this is a good rule of thumb I try to adhere to. She has been trained to have 6 main shoots and I am using LST techniques to gently bend her stems to evenly fill her space without overcrowding. ❄️TRICHOMES/RESIN PRODUCTION: Her buds are already starting to sparkle amd glisten. It looks like she will be a good resin producer! 🚿 WATER/FEED: I have continued with a light bidiurnal misting of White Dutch Clover cover crop . This in conjunction with running lower temps (New AC) has seemed to have drastically increased feeding intervals. My plants are needing much less water than in previous runs. I typically give the whole SOG one feed per week with light watering of select individual cultivars as needed between feeds. I try my best to "read" my garden. The amount of water between feeds depends on how soon the next feed will be. I feed the garden as a whole and this run I have been generally spacing feeds out 5-7 days or until the the first plant shows beginning signs of wilt (slight droop of lower fan leaves). 📝 OBSERVATION/NOTES: She doesnt appear to have any signs of deficiency or toxicity. No indications of stress, disease, or pests. Any advice, suggestions, or constructive criticisms are always welcome. Now, for the weekly break down! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• THIS WEEK'S BREAK DOWN •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 10/29 - Day 81/Day 29 of Bloom °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° 🎥 FILMING DAY 🎥 🚿 FEED DAY 🚿 The cultivar received approximately 1 gallon of solution.

The bottom buds were done and getting amber, I thought of partial harvesting but the math didn't match and leaving the main cola didn't make sense so I chopped her down. Will be back 3 weeks after she's dried with the smoke report

This plant was an absolute dream to. Grow, no issues at all with health of plant, just struggled to tame her as she was a a thick strong climber 💪💪. I'm so impressed with how this turned out, I could have flushed for another 3 days to make it 12days but I needed the space. After The 2 days of dark I was recommended I can definitely say it has vastly boosted her trichomes and the smell when I opened the tent blew my head away 😍😋 Aiming for a 10-14 day hang dry, The 10-12 weeks curing in jars with humidity packs. I will update with a dry bud weight and smoke test 👌 Bud wet weight is just 500g+ Final bud dry weight is 298g. Of juicy resinous purple and orange buds 😍 smells like sherbert and hang dry smoke test revealed a candy sherbert, no banana yet but hoping like the grow it matures with cure process now. Hits eyes straight away, sandy bottom kids, giggles, munchies, fun time with Mrs, bed. Full cycle with this one very happy over here 😉😁💚 FAT BANANA AUTO FROM ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS, big thank you to the team, and the breaders. What a pheno I received. I appreciate you all

Welcome to week 10. 7/9-15 Grow family, friends and followers, for the most part, I've basically been flushing 3 gallons each plant every 2 days. I think it is helping both Gaia and Circe recover from nutrient lock out. I see tufts of new flowers forming on some top buds. In the flushing, I still see tea color run off but I will return to feeding very lightly this week. Measurements for one gallon but make 4 or 5 gallons of fertilizer solution. 7/9 flushed ladies with 3 gallons and picture day. 7/ 10 I already feel behind on this week. I had to rush watering my plants in the tent yesterday so I could prep the sides and condiments for a cookout. After eating we played games then, called it early as a storm was heading our way. I was going to do my diary up date last night but the storm took out our power. So today loaded yesterdays pics 7/11 ferigating day. All got flushed 3 gallons of water. After using, then I fertilized with additional 1gals Fertilizer TPS1 15 ml in 4 gal Signal 7.5 ml in 4 gal Each plant received 1gal. Also baking day -Banana Brownie recipe in week 2 Natrona's recipe diary. This is free of eggs, gluten and sugar. And I'm trying to create videos. Tried adding music and adding my IG avatar. Needs work and for me, sure didn't come easy. 7/12 I added a humidifier to the tent yesterday to bring VPD in line. It's getting too hot and with low humidity, the vpd is bordering on the red zone. Temps are heating hotter here so our a/c has to work harder and still not doing the cooling necessary. It is also cooling the tent by about 5 degrees. The drip trays were empty this morning. That means that after ferigating yesterday, any runoff in the bins was drank overnight. I did not top off the drip bins with tap water today. I'm letting them go a day or two without any water. I'm seeing more new tufts of hairs on lower buds. Yay.👍 7/13 water only and pictures. Also made osteoarthritis lotion.. week 3 Natrona's recipes 7/14 checking in. The girls are doing fine. No water today and bins are dry. Also at 10x magnifying, I am starting to see trichomes 👍 Pics taken. 7/15 Ferigate day. flushed with 1 gal each then fertilized in 4 gal 22ml TPS1 and 9ml Signal Thanks for stopping by,
Processing

Hallo to You all my familly and usual visitors. Thank you for stopping by and all the likes and comments....You make my day! Everything runs smooth, the trichomes are mostly milky right now, normally i would wait a week or so to get some amber color trichomes at the winter is already here and the only heating source in my grow room is the Mars Hydro TS 1000 with is at 80% of power right now and 30 cm. from the top of the canopy. That makes the temperature is most of the time 15 degrees Celsius. So I decided to start flushing on 7th of December. With all that going on I'm tempted to dark her on 15th...we will see. The TS 1000 gives a full spectrum of light and is energy efficient (which is quite a big deal these days ;)) The plant grows many dense buds under this lamp as you can see, Mars Hydro did a very good job producing this lamp. Thanks to Mars Hydro for supplying the necessary equipment for this grow. That's it for this week folks, have a wonderful week and please come beck visit in a week we are almost at the finish line with this girl you don't want to miss the finale ;)

Aug 10: added malted barley and Power Bloom for second time as a top dressing. Aug 13: don’t take flash pics of your plants unless you are then using a 730 nm far red light to put them into dark mode. Otherwise you’ll be messing too much with the light cycle and might cause them to hermie. I have no proof but I’m theorizing the red light light might help prevent hermies. Worked last year anyway. Buds look good in flash pics so it’s a nice side benefit of using the red light as a bloom booster. Aug 16: good week for weather and she looks great.

My first issue with a deficiency happened on 4/20. I’m hoping it was Molybdenum deficiency vs Nitrogen. But added a little base veg in to boost up N in case. Feel free to let me know what you think the issue could be. Seems to be coloring its leaves a week early. But the nugs are looking great and smelling like jet fuel. Putting into fall simulations this weekend. Day 32 on 4/22.

Hello, Semaine 2 croissance. Les plantes sont en bonnes santés, malgré une différence importante dans le stade de développement. Celle du milieu semble clairement plus vigoureuse. Peu être j’ai commis une erreur pendant les tout 1ers stades de la germination et de l’enracinement. J’espère que cela va se corriger par la suite. Je note aucuns signe de carence pour le moment. Mon Ec est à 1, mon Ph entre 5.5 et 6.2 J’arrose une fois par jour. Je vais attendre encore une bonne semaine je pense pour commencer à réaliser un topping, selon le développement de chaque plantes. 🌱 Voilà pour cette semaine... Happy grow...😎

It took two ... 2 full hours to repot all 7 plants. I used an entire bag of Fox Farm Ocean Forest.... also sprinkled Mycorrhizal on each root system. The GG4 is really oing pretty good... I believe the tight node spacing means good things are in store. Super cropping continues. I gotta flip the whole lot of 7 plants...who cares .. first grow mistakes... fun!

This is the start of week 4 vegetation. Nearly at 5th nodes which Is where I will top the plants. So far so good.. these babies are all loving life right now. However I had notice a couple 9f there first fan leaves had a few yellowish spots I put this down to possible a little over feed 9n nutrients. Since this,they have sprouted very nicely and all the leaves coming through are vibrant green and looking healthier. Any suggestions as to what the yellowish colour could be? Hopefully nothing serious.
