Easy to grow, strong weed, but yield is low, so put a couple extra ;)

For 30th April: The aroma in the tent is ramping up. It is pure correlation, but it seemed to have increased as soon as the UV light was installed. The white widows all have a delicate perfumed lemon mango smell. The gorilla glue is spice and pine. Ph is good at 6-7 in all four pots. Still fighting the deficiencies in one of the widows. The brown spots didn’t seem to slow down my last widow grow. But it also has very pointy leaves, where the other two younger widows have fat dark leaves. She’s bigger, older and hungrier than the other two. She might just need more feed. I need to keep the calmag going. I have been sporadic with it but I’ll make it a regular feed addition from now on.

Sep 6: the top buds are mostly ready. Final Flush was applied two days ago and are supposed to wait 7-10 days. Will wait a bit longer but harvest will be starting soon. Sep 7: harvested 740 g wet buds into freezer. When dried this will be about 180 g. Lower buds will be another week or two.

Hallo, Banana Dessert, Weltexklusiv zuallererst hier auf Growdiaries! (lul, ziemlich cool das zu schreiben... Vor allem wenn es stimmt. Deswegen mach ichs auch) 02.08 Tag46/ Blüte 11 Noch immer ein Augen schmauß. So blüte nicht wirklich(noch nicht). Ich versuche es euch mit nem Video zu zeigen. Revidiere. Die Blüte geht los. 03.08. Stretch. Recht wenig Dünger, ist aber mit Absicht. Soll so gegrowed werden. Und alle Pflanzen reagieren äußerst positiv darauf. Auch andere. 04.08. Stretch. Danke, es reicht... 05.08. Tag 49. Blüte 14. Prächtig. Beide mit Verlaub gesagt. Riecht nach trockenem Heu. Seltsam.

Harvest was done on a lovely summer day. Since summer was approaching, half of the harvest was hung upside down with the classic 60/60 and rest is stored in a wine cooler for drying. There’s also an oscillating fan below for airflow!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉 starting off with a 2x4 Gorilla Grow Tent build, For lighting I went with the Horticulture Lighting Group 350R DIABLO paired up with Mars hydro UR45 bars for the UV spectrum🔥 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Started some low stress training / continue LST maintenance -Planing to start some defoliation possibly take a clone later this week, further leaf tucking as I continue LST. -Foliar fed

first week of full flower, plant is looking good. 2nd last foliar spray of the year yay! We are getting there. Should be 7 to 9 weeks from now depending on weather. I'd LOVE to see some rain.

HARVEST DAY! 162 days after the sprout, and 117 days after the switch. It makes almost 6 months!! What a never-ending journey! I chopped down the princess and decided to place the colas on the usual hanging net without trimming them directly. I just couldn't. Every cola requires at least 30-40 mins to be trimmed properly. I got something like 50 or 60 colas in total. It's a total pain in the ass believe me!!! There are layers consisting in calyx, leaf, calyx, leaf, and so on. You basically need to work between every couple of small calyxes in order to remove the leaf in the middle, while being very careful to not cut down everything. It's insane!!!!!! So.... just wait a little more for the final harvest and the smoke report. They will come, but definitely not now! In the meantime I uploaded some harvest photos and videos. ;-) See you soon!!!

Alright grow cycle, mistakes, improvements, etc... She did stay in veg for too long, her growth was slow and not the best and so she took quite long, next time i'll be there from the beginning so I can take care of her throughout. But her growth is really fun. It is a tall growing sativa with fairly tight noding when trained accordingly, producing long filled colas. The buds grow fairly dense and fluffly but do air out a little when dried. Trichome production was pretty impressive as well as terpene production. She had thrips since her early days but did not seem to mind them at all. I did spray them initially but once flower started I stopped. I believe predatory mites might have been feeding on the pupae in the soil, if that is what this specific species of thrips did, the reason I say that is I could never see adults only larvae. Whatever the case maybe they were there but the population never really increased. Something I did not mention during the grow is that those plants were played music during the days, music that is apparently developed for plants. The 10L pot was WAY too small for a true sustainable living organic and to provide enough space for the plant, that was a mistake, I'd say a 20L would be the bare minimum and still. The bigger the better. The hempy transfer did not hurt the plant and I believe even helped to some extent, BUT, I am still running test on the subject and so can't confirm anything, here are my observations Roots did not colonize the perlite, a little on top and the sides but that was it, I was expecting to see a big root mass in there. I believe hempy are great for salt fert as it hold a soup of nutes where the plant can feed from since the coco only holds very little Whereas in nature most nutrient are in the top soil where the highest amount of decomposition happens, this is where the highest microbial activity happens and so where the plant will find food. Living organic is trying to reproduce nature and so there is no need for the plant's roots to gather at the bottom of the pot. Although it could have potentially provided the plant access to a larger amount of water and possibly more oxygenation of the pot. Those are all theories, please speak up if you have other proofs. In conclusion , unless i get proven otherwise by someone or my latest running experiment , I will not be using hempies again as I believe it brings more complication and issues than a simple fabric pot. The lights, The 600w at the start was good, then I decided to add a 400w...😂 That was completely overkill and not necessary. Waste of electricity. And they started suffering from too much light it seems at some point, I raised the light by a good 30 cm and they were fine. 600 is more than enough. I am happy about how the soil performed but it has room for improvements. As for the watering technique I have been watering large ammount every few days, next time I will be giving constant small amount of water each day and a soak every week or so, I believe the soil might perform better under those conditions. She was also an easy plant to harvest whit her long colas which had very little foliage, I do trim in excess as I like my buds extra clean but the buds are not excessively bushy. The trims were use to make some bubble hash, around 100g of wet trims yielded around 1.5-2g of bubble hash. I did add a negative effect but only because it wouldn't give me a smile otherwise, but to be honnest it barely dries your mouth. The soil is going to be recycled and reused in a next grow. I can't think of anything else at the moment but if you have any question don't hesitate.

Removed some lower branches at the end of week 9. ✂️ Things were getting a little tightly packed in the flower room. 🤷‍♂️🏽🌿 Both plants are showing signs of female sex.😎 That about some up week 1 of flower. 🌺

Week 4 flower : everything’s looking nice still got the lights about 7-9” from top of canopy without any issues . The humidity has gone up to 50% in day and I can’t really get it any lower I’ve already got a dehumidifier so don’t want to get another one . I would like to lower to 40-45% and lower for last 2 weeks but can’t see that happening . I’ve started the pk from end of week 4 (day 28 )at 1ml per litre this took my ec to 2.2 I will see how it goes and maybe up it to 1.2-1.5 and I’m going to use the pk for 7-14 days then I will start the flush I also lowered the silicone to 0.5ml per litre 3x blue cheese plants are on the left but has spread over and 1x sunset sherbet on the right

I just bend 2 of them to be more stealthy. I'm proud of them, but the milky way - it's shitty. No feed this week, just water, summer is still broken, no much sun, just windy and cloudy

Going into flower like now I think..🤔 Lol, yes it’s flower time already.🤭

These girls are getting really close. Definitely stacked amazing but from the looks, Definitely sativa dominate. They're getting a strong pungent OG smell and a couple have a super sweet smell. Excited for the next week to see how they progress.

Segunda semana de crecimiento de las red cookies gelato, hasta ahora va todo bien, humedad en 60/65 y temperatura de 22 a 27 de máximas. 9/9 una de ellas anda pocha de forma las hojas son algo raras , la voy a mantener pero podría hacer un reemplazo ya que germine 3 más por si hubiese problemas con alguna. Por lo demás todo perfecto , espero hacer un trasplante la próxima semana , e ir creciendo algo más en la maceta definitiva, seguramente caigan todas en 7l de maceta pero todavía no lo tengo del todo decidido. Buenos humos gente.

This fifth week started off kinda rough. I had to remove some sick leaves that got hit by leaf miners. I’ve cleaned up all the damaged parts from the plants, including this one. On Monday, I’m gonna spray them with a ready-to-use mix that has Neem oil, nettle extract, and horsetail. I also noticed a slight nutrient deficiency, probably because until now I was only watering with untreated tap water — didn’t check the pH at all. Even when I fertilized, I still used water with no pH adjustment. I’ve only just started using pH-controlled water like two or three times now, since I finally bought a pH meter. Now I’m watering and fertilizing with everything adjusted to 6.5, so that’s something I need to keep in mind from now on. I’m planning to bump up the fertilizer to 1 ml per 500 ml of water. I’m using Biobizz Bloom, and I wanna keep the dose like that because the pot is small — just 3.2 liters — so I don’t wanna overdo it with 1 liter of water. I’ve noticed that 500 ml works just fine, so I’ll stick to that. Other than that, everything seems to be going okay.

i am starting to harvest the ladies,i already harvested 5 of them and each one is better then the other,the last is absolutely incredible,i like taking them when there about 40 percent amber,and boy oh boy they are better then what i expected,i am toking as i text because we all know when we run out ,you better do what you can,so im looking at my first ladie i harvested and she was just dry enough to smoke ,i like to cure them for awhile but if im out,lol so i rolled one and im zoomen,i cant imagine how good all these ladies are gonna be,yeeeeee haaaaaaa,i got 7 oucces of dence bud from the most recent and three before her.i have 12 to go,im in heaven,thank you weed gods.stay high friends

Love Glookies, Glookies is loving the ScrOG ;) super vigorous plant, that handled and repaired more than a few broken branches amazingly. The pheno is awesome, with buds being light green with a ton of purple hues in them. A powerhouse that I can highly recommend. Took a bunch of clones so that I can grow her again right away. She is a stretcher so beware and factor that in when growing her.
