Aggiornamento 15/ 2 /21. Quarta settimana tutto procede bene senza carenze ed eccessi stanno bevendo di più e promettono bene !!! Aggiornamento 16/2/21 ho notato che una bimba ha delle foglie un po bruciacchiate le altre 2 crescono benissimo. Ho dato 1 l solo acqua a ciascuna oggi. Aggiornamento 19/2/21 ho riscontrato una deficienza da calcio così ho somministrato cal-mag bio bizz con un po di rhino skin su due bimbe (già sono diventate 2 le bimbe infette) mentre all altra che cresce bene ho dato il biglietto bud rimpiazzandolo al long flowering greenhose.

Ahoy, green comrades and Power Buds enthusiasts! Gather 'round for the Week 5 Veg Report, where the saga of Jelousy continues to unfold in all its leafy glory. This week has been nothing short of spectacular, filled with growth, joy, and a touch of botanical magic. Now, brace yourselves for the root revelation – it was a week of root madness! Jelousy's roots decided to throw a green party of their own, growing with such vigor and enthusiasm that I couldn't resist but give her a grand ticket to her final pot. Yes, folks, the time has come for our green companion to settle into her permanent botanical abode. Let's talk about the grand ceremony – the transplantation. As always, I employed the mystical Aptus Holland Mycor Mix to accompany Jelousy on her journey. This mix isn't just a sprinkle of magic; it's a symphony of beneficial microorganisms, working in harmony with the plant. During transplanting, the mycorrhizal fungi in the mix establish a connection with Jelousy's roots, creating a dynamic partnership. They extend the root system, enhancing nutrient and water absorption, while Jelousy graciously provides them with sugars. It's like setting up a botanical support system, ensuring our green companion has everything she needs to flourish in her new and final home. Now, let's talk about a little gardening finesse – defoliation. As Jelousy reached for the skies, I decided to give her a little grooming session. Removing some of the older, lower leaves not only allows for better light penetration but also encourages the plant to focus its energy on the growing tips. It's like giving our green friend a botanical spa day, where she can channel her energy into the areas that truly matter. But wait, there's more! I couldn't resist taking a few clones. It's like preserving a piece of Jelousy's green magic for the future. Who knows, maybe we'll have a whole family of Jelousies thriving in the garden. And speaking of the garden, we've welcomed a new member – a little Buddha acting as the guardian of our growing oasis. He stands tall, radiating tranquility and showering blessings upon our flourishing green kingdom. He seems to be particularly fond of the tree growing beside him – our very own Jelousy. It's like having a silent guardian, watching over the botanical wonders unfolding. As we revel in the beauty of Week 5, let's extend our gratitude to Zamnesia and Plagron for guiding us through this enchanting journey. Their support is the wind beneath our leaves, propelling us toward horticultural greatness. A nod of appreciation to the vibrant Grow Diaries community – your shared passion and wisdom continue to enrich our collective knowledge. To my fellow contestants and growers, may your plants continue to thrive, and may the joy of cultivation accompany you through every green endeavor. Here's to a week of roots finding their home, leaves reaching for the heavens, and the garden flourishing under the watchful eye of our Buddha guardian. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep cultivating those dreams! As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all. This journey of mine would just not be the same without you guys. The love and support are very much appreciated, and I feel honored and blessed with you all in my life !!! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of . Friendly reminder: all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only. Genetics - Jelousy @Zamnesia Nutrients @Plagron Light - @viparspectra P2000 Room size - 3x3 - 0,9x0,9

Getting my supports into place and then will flip this coming week. Mites seem under control, still using soap spray and systemic spinosad in watering. The two middle most plants are Ice Bomb. I have not been feeling well so I have not pulled them all out for photos this week.

After hang drying for 5 days I began curing in a plastic bin; I believe they got a little too dry so I've bottled them and waiting for some humidty packs to finish up the cure process but so far its pretty good. I learned a lot in this grow; Small pots are better for what I'm trying to do so instead of 7 gallon pots; next time Ill likely use my 3 gallon pots and keep it all in my 4x2 tent. That way I can move to the plant near a drain or outside for flushing or dealing with run off and I can shave a couple weeks off the entire grow having smaller plants. Thanks to everyone thats been following along and checking in - it's been fun tracking my grow and recording my progress.

RQS Titan F1 week 5 Hello friends and followers, 2/25 This has been an exciting week. My Titan girls started flower 🌼. T3 in the 3-gallon air pot is larger at 6.5 inches. Last week I noticed her new growth was getting long and thin. A sure sign the pistils will emerge in a day or two. T3 started flower 🌼on 2/25. 2/26 Surprise surprise, T3 stretched an inch overnight and T2 about a.5 inch. That stretch meant I had a busy plant workday ahead. First, I defoliated T3 since I could see what I had to work with. Then because I’ve been following @yan402 on his Titan grow, I said I was going to top her. He said its ok if done correctly and at the right time. Well, fingers crossed 🤞, I hope it was not too late or cut in yhe wrong place since T3 was already in flower. Her short (.75-1” long) stems are so close to the stem, it was difficult getting the tie down pins placed. With T2’s stretches her tippy top is just peeking above the copper pot rim. She is towering 😅 at 2.5 inches. T2 was defoliated on 2/26 as well. Her defoliation pictures above show how many I was able to trim off 7 and the leaf relative size. T2’s largest leaf is the size of a quarter and the smallest set I cut off, about the size of a penny. I keep supplementing and folar spraying with Cal-mag but the internodal chlorosis is still visible. I think Teapot gal (T2) has a copper excess.  Slowed Growth,  Fewer branches  Internodal Chlorosis  Stumpy roots (I won’t see this until I harvest and reveal the root ball) Given these symptoms of copper excess, and that RQS Titan are F1 hybrids and should be stable, I believe the height and the health differences are attributable to the copper wire teapot. They are in the same soil, same tent environment, same nutrient solution, same light, same everything. As I stated in previous discourse, I expected the overall plant to be smaller than T3 simply based on the pot size but did not expect to see such size differences so early, not to mention the nutrient issues. How I wonder? The copper wire is separated from the plant and soil by coco liner (which should be neutral, then coffee filters because I thought the soil would was out). Then the soil and plant. T2 is towering at 2.5 inches and started flower on 2/29. I expected a delay in her flowering time (4 days after T3) since she was transplanted to the teapot when T1 failed to thrive (maybe also the teapot cause?). Any time you train your plants, the stress causes delays in flowering then harvest. I defoliated T2 on 3/1 day 30. The pictures after defoliation show the tight node structure with 3 or 4 nodes crammed in only 1.5 inches of the main stem. Sheesh. So, as we enter March, we are off and growing buds. RQS says harvest 70-75 days or 40-45 days of flower. My calculations – harvest will be April 13-18. Be sure to come for my tea

To me it looks like ready for harvest even thow I still have new pistils on main cola. I will flush one last time today. I will let the earth dry out and as soon as the leaves start to drop I will put into darkness for 48 hours and harvest. I think its good to give the plant a more natural rhythm as soon as you start flushing at least I have the feeling that it smells stronger now.

Начинаю тренировку растения 💪 Пару дней не заглядывал в бокс, от растяжки надломилась ветка в верхнем междоузлии. Не паникую(мы же на расслабоне гровим 😜), надломил до хруста противоположную ветку, для симметрии, и временно убрал растяжки. Ну вот, планировал не мучать свой автоцвет, но пока не выходит 😈 В конце недели собираюсь делать плановую промывку. 👉Таки доделал досвет низов по периметру, ближе к началу цветения будем тестировать, оставайтесь на связи. Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏 Продолжение следует ...😶

Day 34: Watered with first dose of flowering nutrients (1ml B, 1ml SR). ***I’m gonna break character here for a few mins. If that messes with anyone’s head because you are so deep into the storyline, then you can just pretend this is the director talking. I really wasn’t liking the look of the plant. There was loads of leaves with big very long stems. If it was earlier in the summer I would just put it outside and start another one inside. I don’t have that luxury so I’ll just have to see how it goes. I done some serious defoliation, removing more than 20 leaves. I’m not holding out much hope for a big yield. Day 37: Watered with just PH’d water. Day 39: Watered with Nutrients (1ml B, 1ml SR) ***Character break again. I saw the plant today for the first time in six days. More leaves are after growing big long stems. The few flowers on this plant are topping away nicely. It looks like 3 good bud sites maybe and 2 smaller ones. I have a Rhino Ryder in a 4ltr pot growing next to this Skywalker which looks like it will produce a bigger yield. Either way we have to just see what happens. I’ll hand you back to Luke now for the rest of the grow. Day 40: Continued to use the Force to make the plant grow. This place is really starting to remind me of my time training with Master Yoda on Dagobah. Removed a few leaves with long stems.

Today: 14.18 hours of light 100.4 °F 58%Rh 1 million of mosquitos I've spent this hot week training these two plants trying to keep them the lower as possible since the two main buds have reached the roof (7.87 ft tall). Cookies Gelato is about 9.50 ft tall. I've applied white plastic net all around the pergola to give them some shade in order to slow down the metabolism. These plants are giant and there is no more space to move around. Asparagus stalks are well formed so this is, hopefully, the last preflowering week. Cookies is hungry and some bottom fan leaves start to show chlorosis but the top/mid canopy is plenty of natural nitrogen. During these last weeks I've watered them with 4-5 gallons each, leaving the soil to dry for 2/3 days, they seem to love this scheme. Also, the fact of not having pluck away even a leaf made these plants big and extremely vigorous. Tomorrow I will create a roof with clear plastic rolls as the nighttime humidity begins to increase and some summer thunderstorms are on the horizon.

30.8.24: The plants are still developing very slowly. I may top dress with Ecothrive Life Cycle again, as it's taking longer than expected. So they can probably benefit from that. I overwatered all plants, there was run off. I watered 2 days in a row. There weren't any visual signs that this affected the plants. I'm not going to water, until the soil is dry enough to mix in the ammendments. I'm sill using the Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster, I have noticed that FBP1 and FBP3 have gotten more sizeable since using this product. It's hard to tell on my FBP2 as the buds are already huge. I have continued to defoliate today. I also moved the plants around to maximise light exposure. The branches on FBP3 and FBP1, were looking flimsy. So I tied a few more branches with string, to keep them from breaking and taking up so much room. 1.9.24: So today I added Ecothrive Life Cycle, Diatomaceous earth, also went ahead and added the Bat guano. I watered it in with 2 Tbs of Black strap molasses in 1 ltr of water, to each plant. Each plant also got 1ltr of water with 3ml of Ecothrive Flourish. Additionally I used 2ml of Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster in 1ltr of water. I've noticed that there are new pistils are growing out of the top buds. I think it may be light and or heat stress. It's up to 30°C, at some points. The humidity is pretty stable at 40-50%. I've lowered the light intensity slightly, and am now using 2 fans on low settings. To try to get the heat to lower. 2.9.24: I've decided that stakes are necessary to FBP1 and FBP3. So have made some 70" tall. I also finally got round to cleaning out the bottom of the tent. It was a mess, so I disinfected it with F10. I didn't get any anywhere near the plants. The plants top soil had dried up overnight, I'm assuming the dehumidifier has something to do with it! It is is a great piece of kit. I watered each plant with 1ltr of dechlorinated water, PH'd to 6.0. Each 1ltr had 1 ml of Ecothrive Flourish. I don't want the microbial ammendments, to dry out and ruin it. So I'm thinking about watering just once a day, only 1 ltr per 5 gallon pot. Additionally my companion plant, Rosemary has some either; webbing or Mould on it, so I took it out of the tent, and will treat soil In that pot with a neem oil drench, and see what happens. I need to repot it, my mint plant in the tent also has exploded and needs repotting. 3.9.24: I've watered again, as the water is getting drank by my dehumidifier. Couldn't live without it though! I added 3ltrs of water to each plant included was;- 3ml per litre of Ecothrive Flourish, 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster. Dechlorinated to 6.2. Still haven't managed to add the extra plant stakes yet. 4.9.24 Today all the top soil was dry, and with my dehumidifier so close, I've added another 2ltrs of water each with;- 2ml of Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster 2ml of Ecothrive Flourish 2ml of cal-mag. PH'd to 6.0. Had to add additional stakes in to FBP2 (my best pheno)! As the flowers are soo heavy, it's crazy actually. I've been using 6% silica, since the beginning. I am checking the trichomes daily through the jewellers loupe. They do actually still look clear / glassy. I'm glad I did top dress this week, as it looks like we're going to be going for a long while yet. 2-4 weeks. Ps. If I've made mistakes in this update, I'm 9/10 faded on my Royal Critical. 😅 5.9.24 I watered with 2 ltrs of water per plant PH'd to 6.0. For each litre, I added 1ml of Ecothrive Flourish and 2ml of Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster. I accidentally bent a branch on FBP3. I have taped it together tightly with duct tape. I also added more stakes to FBP2 as the flowers are getting super heavy, which is an awesome thing, as I was prepared for staking, and tying. Can't wait to taste these when they're ready to harvest! 🤤 Ps. I'm thinking of making up a new 5 or 10 gallon pot with a super-soil mix, I did that for this run, but now I know more about ammendments, hopefully it will be better this time. I'm going to leave the soil mix as per the instructions to cook / dry, before planting this time. Will update again 🙂
